My actions drunk or sober, before AA,
were not those of a sane person.
My desire to be honest with myself made it necessary
for me to realize that my thinking was irrational
It had to be or I could not have justified
my erratic behavior as I did.
I've been benefited from a dictionary definition I found
that read:
"rationalization is giving a socially acceptable reason
for socially unacceptable behavior,
and socially unacceptable behavior is a form of insanity."

Thought to Ponder....

An obsession:
A persistent, recurring idea
that does not respond to reason.
