“There is a tendency to label everything that an alcoholic may do as ‘alcoholic behavior.’ The truth is, it is simply human nature … Emotional and mental quirks are classified as symptoms of alcoholism merely because alcoholics have them, yet those same quirks can be found among nonalcoholics, too. Actually they are symptoms of mankind.”
William Duncan Silkworth, MD, January 1947, “Slips and Human Nature”, Best of the Grapevine, Vol. 1
