Hello All,
I found this excerpt from a book a counselor recommended and thought it was a good parallel to recovery from Alcohol addicition and thought I'd share it:
Autobiography in Five Short Chapters: From The Child Within
1) I walk down the street, there is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I fall in. I am lost...I am hopeless. It isn't my fault. It takes forever to find a way out.
2) I walk down the same street, there is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I pretend I don't see it. I fall in again. I can't believe I am in the same place. But, it isn't my fault. It still takes a long time to get out.
3) I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I see it is there. I still fall in...it is a habit. My eyes are open. I know where I am. It is my fault. I get out immediately.
4) I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I walk around it.
5) I walk down another street.
