From "He Lived Only to Drink:"

"I genuinely believed that I was different until much later, when I
had what I now know to be my first spiritual awakening: that I was
an alcoholic and I didn't have to drink! I also learned that
alcoholism, as an equal opportunity illness, does not
discriminate -- is not restricted to race, creed, or geography. At
last I was released from the bondage of my uniqueness."

c. 2001, Alcoholics Anonymous, page 450
