Cunning, Baffling and Powerful

That's my disease

I am a recovering alcoholic addict, and until this past weekend I had 12 years of sobriety. I had reached a point where the desire to drink had finally left me, or so I thought. To put it honestly, I went to the wake of a friend and drank almost a whole fifth of tequila in far too short a time. My friends did not take me to detox, which they should have done. That is the only thing I can fault them for. They are to blame for none of it, I for all of my actions, and the disease for the substance. I had a choice, and I made the wrong choice.

My understanding is it's not about how much you used or not, or where, or the reasons why. The point is that from the moment I chose to pick up the glass and take that drink, my recovery was halted and my addiction proving the fact that the addict in me still exists, whether sober or not. And that this disease is baffling. I had no reason to do as I did. I can rationalize forever, but the plain truth is I had forgotten those three words. And that I had a choice, today. That is what counts. I'm not afraid to come back.

The Man In the Glass By Dale Wimbrow 1934

When you get what you want in your struggle for self and the world makes you king for a day,
Just go to the mirror and look at yourself and see what that man has to say for it isn't your Father, Mother or Wife whose judgment upon you must pass...

The fellows verdict that counts most in your life is the one starring back from the glass.

Some people might say your a straight shootin chum and call you a wonderful guy but the man in the mirror says your only a bum if you can't look him straight in the eye he's the fellow to please never mind all the rest for he's with you clear to the end and you've passed your most dangerous test if the man in the glass is your friend.

You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years and get pats on your back as you pass but your final reward will be heart ache and tears if you've cheated the man in the glass....
