If drinking is interfering with your work,
you are probably a heavy drinker.
If your work is interfering with your drinking,
you are probably an alcoholic.
We are so accustomed to disguise ourselves
to others that in the end we become disguised
to ourselves.
Addiction is addiction, and not to be flung
out of the window by any man, but coaxed
downstairs a step at a time.
Fear will hold you prisoner,
truth will set you free.
If you want things to be different, perhaps
the answer is to become different yourself.
Treat your mind like a bad neighbourhood -
do not go there alone.
Anything not attempted remains impossible.
Ultimately we know deeply that the other
side of every fear is a freedom.
Many of lifes failures occur when people give
up without realising how close they are to
success.
Insanity: - doing the same things over and over
again and expecting different results.
The chains of addiction are generally too small
to be felt until they are too strong to be broken.
Let us not look back in anger or forward in
fear, but around us in awareness.
Allen’s Story
If you have been watching Grayson Perry's 'Rites of Passage' on Channel 4, you may have seen Allen featured in episode 4 'Coming of Age'. The programme didn't have time to explore why people ended up at The Basement Recovery Project and focused on the celebration of recovery. Allen's account of his relationship with alcohol is raw, unedited and told in his own words. Thank you, Allen, for allowing us to share your story with the wider community.
