A friend of mine always says, “I have the mind of a chronic alcoholic…I can't believe what I think.” I thought, she probably does, but for ME, that was a little “out there” a little too severe….

Another friend, when I would share my thoughts, would tell me, “You think too much” or “It's amazing how far your mind will go with something!” Well, I thought that was a little over the top too…after all, I was just exploring possibilities…

Today I'm beginning to “get it”.
Todays quote by Maude Adams stated, “[i]Genius is the talent for seeing things straight. It is seeing things in a straight line without any bend or break or aberration of sight, seeing things as they are without any warping of vision.”[/i]

My camera is a genius then. It doesn't interpret. I could learn from it.
I, however, DO interpret! I write [b]screenplays[/b] in my head…. I take a clear image and I photoshop it. I morph. I hurt myself. There was a circus between my ears last night… and I was the clown.

My alcoholic mind jumps to conclusions, and it wants to make me sad and weak and it makes me want to drink.

BUT! By Golly…..THERE IS A SOLUTION! I have the tools to unlock the GENIUS within! Of course, it requires a pen and paper….and if I REALLY want the truth, my sponsor. She's a genius, a true “just the facts, Mam” lady who sees the original work, not the interpretation.

So…I WRITE IT OUT today…and I [b]look[/b] at it.
Just like a picture – a snapshot…I can find the REALITY that is hidden beneath my insanity. I can find the TRUTH.

Truth I can live with.
God is all about truth and light.
I WILL BE ASSISTED!
