Many alcoholics are enthusiasts. They run to extremes. At the beginning of recovery a man will take, as a rule, one of two directions. He may either plunge into a frantic attempt to get on his feet in business, or he may be so enthralled by his new life that he talks or thinks of little else. In either case certain family problems will arise. With these we have had experience galore. Page 126 of Alcoholics Anonymous.Looking at what's written in the Big Book, it's easy to see why we can act like were more then just a little crazy. Some of us are more Manic then others. Some of us drunks might even need help for a long time from the professional (MD) community. It's hard for me to find the correct middle ground sometimes. At least I know why, and can try to curb myself.
Today I remind myself that progress, not perfection is key.
