There are such unfortunates. They are not at fault; they seem to have been born that way. They are naturally incapable of grasping and developing a manner of living which demands rigorous honesty. Their chances are less than average. ~ Alcoholics Anonymous (Kindle Locations 863-865)

Predestination? A doctrine in Christian theology
the divine foreordaining of all that will happen —
Salvation of some and not others?
It’s true. Some people are foreordained
to misery, to hopelessness, to living death.
For as long as they lie to themselves,
as long as they deny the problem but cling to it
as though it’s the solution…
as long as they refuse to live free
they are predestined to insanity.
But…only as long.
