I like recovery rooms because I tend to see a person, and not a fictional character in the the drama of my own life. If I see someone well dressed, I don’t think, “Oh, that person is rich. Had all the advantages of life. I bet they drank great stuff while I drank Ripple Wine. I doubt they know the suffering I knew. I don’t like that person.” Or I see someone dressed in shabby clothes, unwashed. I don’t say, “What a bum. Probably lives in some messy outdoor place. Glad I never got that bad.” Unless I can see the real person, look in their face and see them as sharing our life together, then any story I write of myself will be fiction. Fiction is opinion, judgment, resentment, while love is from the heart. Recovery is a heart journey.

I couldn't agree more, LOVE in action once we learn to let go.
