The world is round, and the place which may seem like the end may also be only the beginning.

---Ivy Baker Priest

How many people can relate to that one?!!!! We were at the end of our rope and sought help. Little did we know what a wonderful beginning recovery could be.

We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.

-T. S. Eliot

This sums it up for me. I spent years drinking, then more years sober, to try to discover why booze affected me the way it did and does. I arrived back at the moment of my first drink, knowing what I am for the first time.
