Actually, in the context (The Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous) "become" is correct. "Alcohol, (which has, over a period of time up to the present moment) now become the rapacious creditor, bleeds us of all self-sufficiency and all will to resist its demands. " Present perfect, with the helping verb "has" omitted. Quaint and old-fashioned, but not wrong.
The Present Perfect tense is used to talk about change that has happened over a period of time.
Examples:
- The government has become more interested in arts education.
- Japanese has become one of the most popular courses at the university since the Asian studies program was established
...from a recovering alcoholic / English teacher :-)
