About This Quote
It kept him alive, he was certain; even more, it kept his darkest of his demons at bay. This quote from John Steinbeck's "East of Eden" captures the emotional impact that alcohol can have on a person. The sobering reality is that alcoholism is a disease that consumes one's life and destroys the relationships with those closest to them. It can be difficult to recognize when someone is struggling with alcoholism because many people seem to be functioning normally.
They may appear happy and well adjusted but underneath the surface, they are void and lonely. The pain and hurt caused by alcoholism permeates every part of the alcoholic's life.
