Alcoholism: A Two-Fold Condition
"We hope [to make] clear the distinction between the alcoholic and the nonalcoholic. If, when you honestly want to, you find you cannot quit entirely, or if when drinking, you have little control over the amount you take, you are probably alcoholic. If that be the case, you may be suffering from an illness which only a spiritual experience will conquer."
("Alcoholics Anonymous", the book, page 44
