“So this purports to be a disease, alcoholism? A disease like a cold? Or like cancer? I have to tell you, I have never heard of anyone being told to pray for relief from cancer. Outside maybe certain very rural parts of the American South, that is. So what is this? You’re ordering me to pray? Because I allegedly have a disease?

Am I in a sociohistorical era I don’t know about? What exactly is the story here?”
― David Foster Wallace, Infinite Jest
