The Great Curse of Addiction
Chuck C says...
A beautiful drunk named Chuck C. who died with over 30 years of sobriety said: "We wanted so much to be a part of - but we were forever apart from!"
He saw our tendency toward inner isolation (that is often unknown to even our closest people) as a great curse of addiction.
Chuck also talked a lot about giving up the ego/pride, by not giving so much credence to our little worries and convoluted thinking and figuring.... He called the process "getting lost in living, and waking up in G-d." Beautiful, beautiful words!
