Chuck Swindoll once said, “I once accepted a speaking engagement among Christians involved in Twelve Step programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous. As I talked with the attendees and pondered what to say, I finally decided on the ironic title, "Why I Wish I Was an Alcoholic."

“It occurred to me that what recovering alcoholics confess every day—personal failure and the daily need for grace and help from friends –this represent high hurdles for those of us who take pride in our independence and self-sufficiency.”
