for these words about the alcoholic --- "He cannot picture life without alcohol. Some day he will be unable to imagine life either with alcohol or wihout it. Then he will know loneliness such as few do. He will be at the jumping-off place. He will wish for the end."

Ooh am thinking about you and Scott re the hurricane, keep safe :-)
I used to work in a dank bar.
"You will surely meet some of us as you trudge the Road of Happy Destiny." Not literally true for us, 65 years later and the pioneers long passed on. The other night, though, an oldtimer talked about being befriended as a newcomer by Jim Burwell ("The Vicious Cycle," "as we understood him," Tradition 3). There aren't that many sponsorship "generations" from us to the pioneers.
Be safe in the storm, Dave!
