Thanks to my friend DeeJay for pointing this out to me - it was on a BBC2 show. An excellent summary of alcoholism I changed because I have the sickness of alcoholism, alcoholism doesn't come in bottles it comes in people. You should have seen me. I drank for happiness and became unhappy; I drank for joy and became miserable. I drank to be out-going and became self-centred; I drank for sociability and became argumentative and lonely; I drank for sophistication and became crude and obnoxious. I drank for friendship and made enemies, I drank to soften sorrow and wallowed in self-pity; I drank for sleep and awakened without rest. I drank for strength and felt weak. I drank for masculinity and it sapped my potency; I drank medicinally and got sick. I drank because I thought my job called for it and lost my job. I drank to stimulate thought and blacked out. I drank to make conversation and got to where I couldn't talk at all; I drank to forget and became haunted. I drank for freedom...

I have no idea where Dunstable is but the 'live traffic feed' says I'm there.
Odd.
Still. I'm sure I've been in worse place...;-)
Wow! Didn't realise you were dyslexic.It's a bugger of a thing! Both my children are and I spend my working day at a junior school, trying to help dyslexic children feel better about themselves, against all odds.
ReplyDeleteWhoever decided that there was so much worth in just being able to spell?!
