Time Takes Time

I started drinking with serious purpose when I was about 18 and I drank for 12 years.  I was a daily maintenance drinker and drug abuser.  I systematically took down my life, brick by brick, bolt by bolt, destroying everything, leaving nothing standing, with deadly purpose.  I was diligent and meticulous.  I showed up early and stayed late and I never missed a day.  I worked at it.  You could drop me off in a dry county at 3AM in the morning, on a Sunday, and I'd have had a case of beer and a bag of weed in two hours.  

I was good.

Then I came into The Program and I got frustrated that I didn't feel great after two weeks.  

The good news is that there's a solution.  The bad news is that it takes a while.
