booze solves nothing

In one month, this author has reminded himself the hard why he has been laboring to renounce the path of the addict for that of the warrior. Twice now, this month, he has indulged in alcohol and other stimulants, and twice now he has rued the error of his ways. It is not in cloudedness or confusion that his brain finds solace, but in sobriety; it is not in indulgence and excess that his soul finds comfort, but in discipline. His work with the yoga series Embodying Enoughness has helped him considerably so far, and he remembers always this quote from Machiavelli: “There is no more delicate matter to take in hand, nor more dangerous to conduct, nor more doubtful of its success, than to set up as the leader in the introduction of changes.” Aho.
