I'm sort of shaken this morning by a letter I received from someone who read yesterday's post.

I feel the same sense of powerlessness I felt back in 1987 when I quit taking drugs and told a number of my very self destructive friends not to come to my apartment or even call me when they were high, which basically meant severing my friendship with them.  I couldn't continue to be around users and get clean.

It took years more for me to get sober.  In a few weeks it will be nine years since my last drink.
