"My family continue to bring me joy and happiness on a daily basis, and if I were anything but an alcoholic, I would gladly say that they are the number-one priority in my life. But this cannot be, because I know I would lose it all if I did not put my sobriety at the top of that list. I continue to attend twelve-steps meetings, and stay in touch with as many recovering people as I can. Staying sober, and helping others to achieve sobriety, will always be the single most important proposition in my life."

(Eric Clapton, The Autobiography)
