I have been reading this thread and thinking a lot. Some heady stuff here folks. And simple lessons as well. As always from this crowd
I get a bunch of what was said. Allow me to highlight those thoughts that I will take away.
Thoughts, while about drinking, are not always the beast but rather our sane brain making logical observations or distinctions. For me that's a hair left split by a barber. I don't do hair!
Alcoholism becomes the paramount desire that will trample all other desires in its quest.
Small big plans are not as effective in the long run as big small plans.
You cannot be a little bit pregnant. ( that one threw me a bit. Had to think about it.)
I must use maladaptive more often in casual conversation.
English prose is still an art medium.
My beast can "farm" only in fertile ground.
Soberlicous wont be stealing those lovely red patent leather slingbacks that would look amazing on her beautiful feet and slender ankles.... If I do say so myself.
RR does not complain.
Anal is not a bad word.... That's still debatable in my circles.
Internal debate is a sign or indication to recommit to the BP. It's not a conversation. It's a statement.
That a conversation among us can be respectful and insightful.
Thanks!
