Normal? What The Hell Is Normal???

Earthlings will not be able to understand this…

From Chap. 11 “A Vision For You”

“For most normal folks, drinking means conviviality, companionship and colorful imagination.

It means release from care, boredom and worry. It is joyous intimacy with friends and a feeling that life is good. But not so with us in those last days of heavy drinking. The old pleasures were gone. They were but memories. Never could we recapture the past. There was an insistent yearning to enjoy life as we once did and a heartbreaking obsession that some new miracle of control would enable us to do it. There was always one more attempt – and one more failure.”

I might add – ad infinitum… the failures seemed to be neverending themselves.

I’d like to suggest that if your drinking is no longer convivial, if your drinking has chased all your companions away, if your imagination is as exciting as a pet rock, you might not be “normal” and you might have a problem with booze.

There is a way out! BTW – Normal? It’s a setting on a washing machine…
