“My sponsor counseled me early on that “1 was at the crossroads. One road would lead to a sober and useful life, if I stayed on that road. The other road would lead to suffering for others and myself with a painful death.” I kept hoping he’d turn into Monty Hall and tell me about door number three.”
What hurts you, blesses you. Darkness is your candle.
— Rumi
there is no middle-of-the-road solution. We were in a position where life was becoming impossible, and if we had passed into the region from which there is no return through human aid, we had but two -alter- natives: One was to go on to the bitter end, blotting out the consciousness of our intolerable situation as best we could; and the other, to accept spiritual help.
