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 magically from the bar
where I stood nursing a drink,
and was instantly exalted to some position of power
and prestige.
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.

Thought to Ponder....

The hardest thing in life
is letting go of what I thought was real.
