Part Two (Chapters 31 thru 60) begins


Every addiction recovery meeting is an intervention between me and the first drink.


"Unnatural Disaster"

 
   “The unexamined life is not worth living.”-                                               Socrates
 
   My last relapse taught me that my brain wants more alcohol than my body can endure. Ever.

   When I was very young, say six or eight, I didn't know the difference between a toy soldier and a dead soldier. Cowboys and Indians was more what we played in my neighborhood. And no one volunteered to be an Indian.  

   And then the flood came. It changed my life....


from All Drinking Aside (Rough Draft, Chapter 31)
