Fixing stuff, myself included…
Recovery?
My lover once said to me, “it’s not the not drinking part that’s hard, it’s the being sober part”. There’s a ring of truth to that statement; I wish there was not. Yesterday I spent the afternoon with a close friend of mine; I thought about having a drink, but I didn’t. I experienced no difficulty with sobriety while in the presence of my friend.
Well where’s the ring of truth then?
Ahh… the ring of truth lies (notice the juxtaposition) in the loss of the lover’s golden tongue, the ease which one makes the witty comment or smart comeback. Perhaps to the discerning sober eye (I) the comment/comeback is off the mark or slightly slurred, but it is the ease of repartee that I’m referring to, not necessarily the quality of a particular remark.
Where are you going with this?
Recovering versus non-recovering! hats. I think it’s highly likely (statistically speaking) that I’m about to embark on a non-recovering escape/escapade. A small dip in the pool of slightly manic, madcap (hat) behavior.
