time, 
therefore, I did not 
take the
 
morning drink which I

sedatives to 
quiet the 
jitters, which 
distressed me 
terribly.

 Here are some of the 
methods
 we have 
tried: 
Drinking beer only, 
limiting the 
number of 
drinks, 
never drinking alone, 
never drinking in the 
morning, 
drinking only at 
home, 
never having it in the 
house, 
never drinking during business hours, 
drinking only at 
parties, 
switching from 
scotch to 
brandy, 
drinking only 
natural wines, 
agreeing to 
resign if 
ever drunk on the 
job, 
taking a 
trip, not 
taking a 
trip, 
swearing off 
forever (with
 and 
without a 
solemn oath), 
taking more physical exercise, 
reading inspirational books, 
going to 
health farms and 
sanitariums, 
accepting voluntary commitment to 
asylums --
 we could 
increase the 
list
 ad infinitum.
