The difference between alcoholics and Al-Anons

Once alcoholics start drinking, they cannot stop when they want to. The gorilla lets go when the gorilla is done.

Once Al-Anons start fooling with an alcoholic, they cannot stop when they want to. The gorilla lets go when the gorilla is done.

Alcoholics have a blind spot when it comes to alcohol. No matter how terrible the experience, the alcoholic will always go back to alcohol, without a spiritual awakening.

Al-Anons have a blind spot when it comes to alcoholics. No matter how terrible the experience, the Al-Anon will always go back to the alcoholic, or find a new one, unless he or she, the Al-Anon, has a spiritual awakening.

If you have discovered yourself, one more time, entangled in a merciless, enthralling bind with an alcoholic, and you are being cut to ribbons, Al-Anon may be for you, no matter how cute the alcoholic is.
