Change
from: "The Doctor's Opinion"
"Men and women drink essentially because they like the effect
produced by alcohol. The sensation is so elusive that, while they
admit it is injurious, they cannot after a time differentiate the
true from the false. To them, their alcoholic life seems the only
normal one. They are restless, irritable and discontented, unless
they can again experience the sense of ease and comfort which comes
at once by taking a few drinks - drinks which they see others taking
with impunity.... Unless this person can experience an entire
psychic change there is very little hope of his recovery."
