"Alcoholic Bonsai Bastard"

Evening Meditation:

    Like a scene from The Exorcist, there was a time when I felt as equally possessed by alcoholism as Linda Blair's character felt possessed by the Devil. At one point, we both would have done anything to make it stop.

    What makes alcoholism and other addictions even worse is that for most people, hitting bottom is a complete nightmare and each successive relapse is a recurring, worsening nightmare.


    "A tough lesson in life that one has to learn is that not everybody wishes you well."
Dan Rather

Question for Today:

    How much of isolation is self-imposed after the King, Alcohol, has been deposed?   from All Drinking Aside (Rough Draft, Day 47)
