About This Quote
Alcoholic has a negative connotation, but the person who needs books to get through their life is someone who can’t handle life on their own. They are unable to move out of their past and unable to move forward with their future. They need someone to tell them what to do and how to act, because they are incapable of making sound decisions on their own. If you need help in your life, don’t be ashamed to ask for it.
