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.
