Part III: Chapter 61, "Depression and Anxiety (Dissolve)" begins....

“It is well to remember that the entire population of the universe, with one trifling exception, is composed of others.” - Andrew J. Holmes

Don’t burn bridges behind you; concentrate on building the bridge that is before you.

I would have refused “Tough Love” had anyone tried to offer it to me in my early sobriety. But I am learning now that I must perform some kind of "tough love" on myself if I am to survive. “I have to keep my sobriety on a very short leash,” as I’ve variously heard it described at my Twelve Step meetings.
