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!

    Thank you soooo much. That was beautiful and insightful. My son came home tonight talking about how his music has changed so much since he has been sober and how his gift of writing songs has given him guidance toward the truth. Its amazing how the gifts God has given us are suppressed during our using and when we are clean and sober our God given gifts begin to shine through. Thank you, again
