"Nothing is interesting if you are not interested."
Helen MacInnes
There
is a distinction between "dry" and "sober." Sober alcoholics choose
not to drink because they have accepted their alcoholism. Dry alcoholics
are not drinking but are invariably angry and resentful and do not
express these feelings.Their abstinence is not exciting because they are
not interested in it; they are bored. They really want to drink. They
have stopped drinking for reasons that do not include acceptance of the
disease; thus, they are still victims of it. Sobriety, by contrast, is
an adventure into self. It
greets the new day with enthusiasm and energy. Sobriety is the
spiritual discovery of God in my life. - Leo Booth
Let me always remember that my interests
in life reflect my interest in You.
