“The First Step tells me I am powerless over alcohol, which is admittedly stronger than I am, since there was no way for me to keep the drinker away from the bottle.” (ODAT, 24 May)
This means all of the thinking and talking about him and his
drinking is a waste of time.
But does it stop at that?
No!
Thinking and talking about others, and the world, and its
people, and its problems:
Also a waste of time.
Open the curtains.
Is it still there?
Just as it was yesterday?
Ah, there you have it.
