Insanity

My friend who is currently in jail, was showing signs of possible alcohol damage prior to his arrest. He was delusional and not connected with 'reality'. He was living in his own reality, which is what we do when we are using. The judge, according to a source has order a psychiatric evaluation to determine his fitness to stand trail. What is sad is that each of us has been there in their own way. If we continue to push the envelope with our addiction we will end up very very far out there, where ever there is at the time.

I know another individual who is about to become a father. He can not stop using. The other night instead of going home to his pregnant wife he slept in the backyard of his friend on the grass. Again let us be clear. I am not judging him, I am relating to him because like him we have all been there and done that for ourselves. The sad part is that while it is going on it makes absolute sense to us at the time. It is only later, much later, when we come out of our haze that we realize how insane our actions are.

The second step tells us we 'could be restored to sanity'. My second sponsor always told me that as long as we don't drink or use today we have been restored.
