"All Drinking Aside"

Evening Meditation:

   There's no room for anger in a barrel full of monkeys. There's no room for rigid thinkers as we alcoholics are sometimes perceived. There's no need for pain devoid of context. There's no room for blame. We are no longer victims.

 

   "The truth is balance, but the opposite of truth, which is unbalance, may not be a lie."

Susan Sontag

 

Question for Today:

 

   Can freedom fight fear? What chance for survival do I have? Can I learn to walk again? Can people be my medicine, my prescription to get well?

 

   Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.
