You've got a nice and cozy Pile there.

It is only a step from boredom to disillusionment, which leads naturally to self-pity, which in turn ends in chaos.

Driven by a hundred forms of fear, self-delusion, self-seeking, and self-pity, we step on the toes of our fellows and they retaliate. - Page 62 of Alcoholic's Anonymous 

Drunks like to party. Right? Why not a nice little pity party? It's warm and cozy. Never mind the smell of it, it's just so warm and cozy.  But the odds are, we've done something to place ourselves to get run-over, or maybe WE played a part in our own situation, and just haven't seen it yet.

This can be a hard thing to admit. It's humbling.  We have to turn to our higher power for advice, that once still small voice of reason that's beginning to get so LOUD...

Let's not forget today, what part that I've played in things...
