The Monster that is Alcoholism


 

    


   Addiction is godless, headless, insane. It rejects faith, reason, feelings. Addiction is heartless, the blackest night. No light. No sun. No stars. In its nothingness, we feel nothing and accept that nothingness is acceptable and true. “Cunning. Baffling. Powerful.”


from All Drinking Aside (Rough Draft, Chapter 42)
