Apple- the language and slang is old-fashioned and a bit corny (I think it was written in the 70's) but there is so much wisdom and sound advice in there. Pages I skipped over in the past suddenly jumped out at me this year. One of the most profound things that stayed with me was….(pardon my paraphrasing…) "alcoholism is a fatal disease that gets worse over time. While you may not be at the DT level of withdrawals or in a gutter, over time, we will all go downhill". If you get on a bus bound for a destination a thousand miles away, you will eventually get there". I realized, finally, that I was on that bus and the miles were piling up.
