It can be hard early on to be tempted by the allure of the darkened rooms,,the laughter, the escape to isolation with our very best friend,,,the drink.

But it is,,in the end the act of surrender followed by willingness that keeps us looking for a better way. And you know well enough that it only takes one bar in a 100 miles to give us that one drink to begin again the spiral to hell.

Gratitude helps too,,,think of the diabetic,,,who in any store of nearly any kind is faced with a door to his/her death.
