There is an inner truth in all of us in terms of alcohol. Alcoholic, hard drinker, problem drinker, dependent, social drinker.... words really can fail us here...
My own experience...
Do I try to make my inner truth what I want it to be? If I do that, make the truth what I want it to be, is it still the truth? If I "see" the truth, what do I make of it? Can I see how that truth affects me and the ones I love, or does my inner truth lie to me, or worse, make me indifferent?
Unfortunately, for me, words get in the way. Words can give me a method of lying, averting my eyes, blinding the truth.
What is your truth? Why do YOU drink?
