Moderation is not an alcoholic's strong point. Few improve much after joining AA; they simply direct their energies to other activities but with the same amount of intemperance.
"Easy Does It" is a nice-sounding slogan, but seldom do we see any great display of it among the members. They usually jump into their jobs with increased enthusiasm or they find an outlet for their energies in AA work. It is probably for the best, however, for excessive activities are not as prone to make a man return to the bottle as too much inactivity.
