Unlearning

Unlearning emotional insanity and learning emotional sanity. Are they opposite sides of the same coin?
This is talking to myself. I'm talking to myself right here. A drink wouldn't shut that up.
I know that now.
A thousand drinks would shut that up.
I know that now.
One drink is a thousand drinks.
One meeting is not a thousand meetings.
A meeting today will quiet my emotions today. Distort and amplify: that's what drinking does. I'm here. It's now. And I think I'm going to be okay.
