Anonymity or Not

Alcohol is a very patient drug. It will wait for the alcoholic to pick it up one more time.
- Mercedes McCambridge


I've enjoyed the short break from thinking up some new posts, but now it's time for me to put my thinking cap back on. :)   But I did enjoy sharing the Deepak Chopra content.  I hope some will find it useful. 

I struggled a little for a short time, whether or not to be anonymous with my posts, and went against it.  Not that I'm looking for grand praises, or fame.  But I thought that maybe there were many recovery sites that were deadly serious, and dull.  I think the words that I'm looking for might be "sterile like a doctors office".   I've broken my anonymity not for fame or fortune, but for reasons of trust.  People tend to trust you, if they know who you are. I'm not out to break someone else's.  I don't care about the dirty scoops about Charlie Sheen, or Amy Winehouse.   I'm just another drunk that hopes that another drunk can get the message of hope, see it, and reaches for it. 

I also decided that if others know who I am, and have a friend or loved one, they'll know how to reach me, and I might be able to help them, if they wish.  I do feel that with the noise of the internet, that I'm just one in a crowd. 

I wasn't worried if anyone knew who I was when I was stumbling around drunk in public, and acting shameful.  So I'm not going to be concerned if I'm seen sober. In public. 

Today, I don't have to worry about waking up with regret due to drunkenness.
