Above all, we reject fantasizing and accept reality.
The more I drank, the more I fantasized everything.
I imagined getting even for hurts and rejections.
In my mind's eye, I played and replayed scenes
in which I was plucked from the bar
where I stood nursing a drink,
and was instantly exalted to some position
of power and prestige.
I lived in a dream world.
AA led me gently from this fantasizing
to embrace reality with open arms.
And I found it beautiful!
For at last, I was at peace with myself.
And with others. And with God.
AA brought me home when I had lost my way.
