Perfectionism

" Perfectionism

is the

enemy

of creation,

as extreme

self-solitude

is the enemy

of well-being."

~ John Updike

Some of the symptoms of the disease of alcoholism/addiction

are that the sufferer wants to isolate, be alone, push away

anyone who loves them, and to kill themselves because

they believe they are not perfect.

Recovery requires other people.

You are never too old to learn to be sociable.

Seek a Higher Power who can restore you to sanity and

know that He will speak to you through other people.

Today will be different from yesterday, so be willing

to be imperfect,seek your sanity, and strengthen your

recovery by being social with friends who know

how to help each other.

Happiness is having imperfect friends who know which way is up.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.
