Two men are sitting in a bar. Both are alcoholics, both having lost their families and destroyed their lives. One man says to the other, "Being an alcoholic has done nothing for us but bring misery. This is no good for us." The other man responds, "I'm not going to listen to you because you don't practice what you preach. You are as bad an alcoholic as me. Who are you to criticise?" The first man closes his mouth and they order another drink in silence.
Meanwhile, across town, two men in a similar situation are sitting in another bar. The first man says the same thing. The second man, however, responds, "You are absolutely right. It's a hard thing for you to admit. I will support you and you can support me, and together we can change."
