Two distinct ways of feeling "bad" afflict every human being. How
those afflictions work -- and how they can be healed -- find clearest
expression in the lives of alcoholics and addicts. Neither experience
is unique to the alcoholic, but each has a special place in the
process of recovery from alcoholism. In this area perhaps more than
in any other, alcoholism and its healing contribute to our knowledge
of the human condition. |
