Congratulations to B. M. of Saratoga, Calif., for her splendid detailing of typical alcoholic rationalizations in "Is it Really a Selfish Program?" in the August Grapevine. I always say and feel that my sobriety must come first. I have seen a number of us go down the drain who did not keep their sobriety first! However, this healthy attitude cannot contain the self-conning thoughts pointed out by B. M.
