parts of 'the bog book', which are read out summarily at the beginning of meetings- the 'cunning, baffling, powerful' as to the effects of booze, as true.
I think more about my history with myself for company in these quarantine days. As I related to my psycholady- us in this exclusive club- know how to isolate anyway, people getting in the way of drinking. So being in enforced isolation- can lead to complacency and relapse. There was a guy at a meeting earlier this year- 15y sober, who had one of those almost unthinking reactions when offered a beer at a party- and drank it, then proceeded straight back to his last binge, 15y earlier within 3 days. One guy I know says it well- be it meetings,(or SR)- but connection to others gives me a daily reprieve, but I will always just be on parole with sobriety....years don't matter.
