We are taught to differentiate between our wants
(which are never satisfied)
and our needs
(which are always provided for)...
Above all, we reject fantasizing and accept reality.
The more I drank, the more I fantasized everything...
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.
Letting go of what you thought was real is one of the hardest things in life to do.
