experience shows that nothing will so much insure immunity from drinking as

You
will be most successful with alcoholics if you do not exhibit any passion for
crusade or reform. Never talk down to an alcoholic from any moral or spiritual
hilltop; simply lay out the kit of spiritual tools for his inspection. Show him
how they worked with you. Tell him that if he wants to get well you will do
anything to help.
