LOVE this quote...but then again I'm a huge fan of any reference to genitalia.

I agree that certain language (ie "sober", "recovery") provides a certain framework to begin discussions. I also understand those terms can sometimes be used to the AV's advantage. The danger for me is not in using certain terms so much as it is in being oblivious as to how the AV can twist those terms.

Personally, my AV loves to tell me what a complex human being I am. That everything that has happened to me in my life is a series of circumstances that no one could possibly understand and that if anyone had to endure what I have, they would surely drink too. The complexity argument used to so intrigue me...but luckily I get easily bored with my AV.
If indeed I am very complex and my circumstances have sometimes absolutely been unbearable... that still has ZERO to do with my past addiction to alcohol.
That Matrix look suits you, by the way.
Thanks...the shoes generally set the tone.
