How this one little phrase almost took me OUT in early sobriety — What started out as a napkin was now a knotted rope of white linen in my lap. I ground my foot into the floor and did my best to ignore the jackhammer in my chest. Three stops away. Now two. Then it was my turn and a shadow loomed over…

Don’t judge my post by its title just yet! — I don’t have anything against Alcoholics Anonymous as a whole. And I freaking HEART the work the Public Broadcasting System does. Um, hello…Sesame Street!
