1.
... incomprehensible demoralization.
BB p.30,
More About Alcoholism
All of us
felt at
times that
we were
regaining control, but such
intervals -- usually
brief
-- were
inevitably followed by still
less control, which
led in
time to
pitiful and
incomprehensible demoralization.
2.
... incomprehensible with
respect to the first drink ...
BB p.37,
More About Alcoholism
Our
behavior is as
absurd and
incomprehensible
with
respect to the
first
drink as that of an
individual with a
passion, say, for
jay-
walking.
