“Drunkenness is temporary suicide: the happiness that it brings is merely negative, a momentary cessation of unhappiness”
~ Bertrand Russell
A.A. Thought for the Day
Drinking is the way we alcoholics express our maladjustments to life. I believe that I was a potential alcoholic from the start. I had an inferiority complex. I didn't make friends easily. There was a wall between me and other people. And I was lonely. I was not well adjusted to life. Did I drink to escape from myself?
Drinking made me believe things I could never believe sober - that I was good enough, that I belonged and that people could like me.
