I think of it as:
Either your pregnant or not pregnant
Can you be just alittle bit pregnant?

Either your sober or not sober

Maybe this way of thinking, makes me narrow minded

For me, to hear the stories from recovering alcoholics
and hearing their excitement of their recovery. Their dedication
of never wanting to drink and go back living in hell, is
very inspiring to me. I have full compassion for that.
I have respect for those who can say, I havent picked
up a drink in 20 years.

After the damage of the losing a family,job,friends,financial, self worth
I have a hard time with compassion for those who want to continue
to repeat with a relapse or slip (whatever) it is called.

Kind of like the person who is dying from lung cancer, sitting in the chair
with oxygen hooked up to them with a smoke in one hand.
Hard for me to have compassion for that...

Somewhere, it is called "Choices"...

We all have our own demons to deal with. Its our choice!

I am not saying Im perfect, Im just trying to understand this cunning,baffling diesase.
