Glad to hear of your weekend Zero... basic goodness... yeah
JR - compassion and loving kindness is just as important for oneself as it is for the world at large.
what kind of 'alcoholic' was I? it really doesn't matter. what matters is that I finally recognized that I should no longer drink. Yes, it took an event to wake me up. But it also gave me pause to reflect on the years. The fact that I am still alive in relatively good health is a miracle. I had so many 'wake up calls' over the years but chose to ignore them. The day I lost my job I vowed to never allow alcohol to have an effect on my life as long as I live. And being the type of drinker I was there was only one way to ensure it. Never drink again. It was like getting hit upside the head with a brick. No more playing the daily drinking lottery anymore.
