Instead of Dying
 
I found this essay by Raymond Carver's second wife to be inspirational.

As he would say later: “nobody starts out to be a drunk. It’s the ‘creeping disease.’”


Thanks for sharing this essay. Compelling.

No other word will do. For that’s what it was. Gravy.
Gravy, these past ten years.
Alive, sober, working, loving and
being loved by a good woman.
Amen.
My last 6 years, and however more I may have, are gravy too.

Thanks too.tall :)
