When
the spiritual malady is overcome, we straighten out mentally and physically.

It
is plain that a life which includes deep resentment leads only to futility and
unhappiness. To the precise extent that we permit these, do we squander the
hours that might have been worth while. But with the alcoholic, whose hope is
the maintenance and growth of a spiritual experience, this business of
resentment is infinitely grave. We found that it is fatal. For
when harboring such feelings we shut ourselves off from the sunlight of
the Spirit. The insanity of alcohol returns and we drink again. And with us, to
drink is to die.
