The Kishline tragedy is a microcosm of addiction itself, marking the path that lies before many others who will continue to drink when a pattern of abuse is well-established.

I fear that little will be learned from the Kishline tragedy. Others will say that the horrible indicent will be a severe setback for the anti-AA movement.
