THOUGHT
“By thought I embrace the universal.”
— Blaise Pascal
My ability to think and communicate enables me not only to live in this world, but also to understand this world. Relationships are dependent upon me understanding my responsibilities — and when I do not think, I am usually very irresponsible.
Alcohol stopped me from thinking and behaving responsibly and created dishonesty in my life. Instead of feeling I belonged, I felt I was on the outside; instead of enjoying relationships, I was forever fighting and involved in bitter disputes; instead of enjoying the peace that comes from being a “child of God”, I felt like an abandoned creature. My problem was alcohol, and I needed to do something about it.
I did — I stopped taking the first drink. Today I am alive in my life, alive in God’s world and enjoying this universe.
When I think clearly, I know I belong.
