Excellent topic. My sobriety has been gratefully with me for a good many years and the desire to drink almost as long. That's great but to a degree dangerous because I often take it for granted and know this dis-ease for me is insidious and still very dangerous. I'm sort of involved with someone who is in the final days of life because of her denial of her problem even as she wears diapers, 42 YO, and insists her Coke is beer. I know I can't get ANYONE sober but the situation is still bothersome in my subconscious also. This AM while my toilet stopped working properly, spilled a bit of milk and stubbed my toe on something I didn't put away. At that point I started to boil and quickly recalled what a man in AA who I loved used to say. "Alcoholics once sober usually handle OK the big things in our lives, It's often the BROKEN SHOELACE THAT CAN TRIP US UP." I'm so grate full that I got tips like that. BE WELL
