God created alcohol to keep the Irish
from ruling the world.
—Jonathan Swift
Reflection
God created fire, too, for human benefit, but in the
hands of an arsonist, it's a deadly force. Likewise, a
soothing draft of alcohol becomes a toxin in the hands
of an alcoholic.
Affirmation
All I need to rule today is my desire to drink. May I be
near water all day.
