"If a mere code of morals or a better philosophy of life were
sufficient to overcome alcoholism, many of us would have recovered
long ago. But we found that such codes and philosophies did not save
us, no matter how much we tried. We could wish to be moral, we could
wish to be philosophically comforted, in fact, we could will these
things with all our might, but the needed power wasn't there. Our
human resources, as marshalled by the will, were not sufficient; they
failed utterly."
