“…we couldn’t control our emotional natures, we were a prey to misery and depression…” Page 52 — My natural and comfortable state, while actively in my alcoholism or alcoholic thinking, is misery. Most every day was a drag. Drudgery. I was depressed, despairing, at times, suicidal. I tried therapy, philosophy, religion, life coaches, self-help, positive thinking. All those are good things but none addressed my alcoholism and my alcoholic thinking. But, thankfully, we have twelve steps for that. And eventually, when I realized that I was 100% powerless, I could commence to do the actually work with “deadly earnestness.”

Help one; save two. Happy Wednesday!
