the analogy challenge! get ready!
its a saturday night and i am quite codie tonight.. so i challenge other codies to an analogy challenge. simply put, come up with an analogy of life as a codie.. or life with the effects of alcoholism.. and try to be as specific and visual as possible.
there are no prizes... just like in alanon there is no graduation day. so any reward is going to have to be internal. or candy always works.
here is my codie challenge analogy.....
being a codie is like having poison ivy. it is right there. itching and wanting attention, but alanon is like mom. dont touch it. leave it alone. dont attach... detach. and so on and so forth.
however, it drives you crazy from time to time. seems to take forever for progess to show up. and feels like it encompasses your entire body. although it is only a small part of you. and sometimes it burns. sometimes it stings. sometimes its just plain ugly. but this too shall pass.
anyone else got a visual analogy?
