The Real Birds and Foxes
by Jerome C.
I had this idea I used to use on AA'ers who said I had to get spiritual to stay sober. I would say that alcohol made me very spiritual, that's why they call it spirits in a bottle. The thing I needed to do is come down to earth and get out of the fantasy, spirit filled world my mind was taking me to when inebriated. If I want to go back to the spirit world I will start taking drugs or drinking again. However, since drinking is not an option for me then.....well it's the real birds, foxes, etc in the "real" world that I will be seeing.
