"Curb Appeal"

    Without the sorrow and suffering of sliding and slamming my way downhill, I couldn't have ever entered my current state of contentment. So much of recovery may not be visible to bored onlookers. Recovery doesn't have the appeal of an action or disaster film. My current "estate of mind" may lack "curb appeal" but I'm not ready for any trade-offs today. Not today.
    “The worst sin towards our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them; that's the essence of inhumanity.”
George Bernard Shaw
Question for Today:
How long after the last hit or last sip will addiction's momentum continue? Clean and serene, is addiction a perpetual motion machine? Can I stay clean?
 
from All Drinking Aside (Rough Draft, Day 78)
