Either we were shy, and dared not draw near others,
or we were apt to be noisy good fellows
craving attention and companionship,
but never really getting it -- at least to our way of thinking...
It was as if we were actors on a stage, suddenly realizing
we did not know a single line of our parts.
That's one reason we loved alcohol too well.
It did let us act extemporaneously.
But even Bacchus boomeranged on us;
we were finally struck down and left in terrified loneliness...
Step Five was the answer.
It was the beginning of true kinship with man and God.

Thought to Ponder....

Life leaps like a geyser
for those willing to drill through the rock of inertia.
