- Page 84, Alcoholics Anonymous
I've noticed in my own sobriety, that Alcohol doesn't hold the fascination for me that it once did. I'm one of the lucky ones. In my final bouts with becoming sick and tired, I was so sick and tired of being sick and tired that when I gave up, I was finished. Done for. I could NOT handle life on life's terms while drinking. Even sober, I've got days that are difficult. I'm still sick in the head. Twisted. I suppose I'm an ass still, but maybe a twisted ass with less of an rough edge, and a lot more humor.
I'm not tempted to drink. I've brought and bought beer for my Boss, for his party. Holding that sick, (sorry a slip on my part) holding that six pack and taking it to his party didn't bother me. Also it didn't bother me that I was might be enabling him either, as that six pack might last him a couple or three days. He's really weird that way. I don't understand it. I DO understand, however, that _I_ am not able to be like him. And I'm good with that.
Today, I'm glad that I'm not easily tempted by my ex-friend, Alcohol. I know that life would just blow up in my face if I were.
