Okay so i'll be the first to admit what a crap person i am. Ever since the gods came down from heavan and my girlfriend died, i've turned to drinking and totally rejected everyone whos tried to help me. I didn't want help i just wanted to let go. Not to say that life is meaningless just it didn't hold as much meaning to me as alcohol or partying. I was numb and i was good with the feeling, that is until my parents and ex in-laws kidnapped me and dropped me off at my very first Alcoholics Anonymous meeting.
So i'm sure you can imagine the surprise on my face when i walk in and see Dionsyus himself acting as the counsler. "You have got to be kidding me..." The words leave my mouth before i can even began to stop them. A few head turns later and Dionysus is approaching me.
"Welcome we always love a new face," He says walking over to me giving me a giant hug. In case you are wondering what Dionsyus looks like imagine a senior Frat boy, now age him a few years and give him a beard but dont change any of the physique. Thats what he looks like, how do i know him you might ask? Lets just say if your acquaintance asks you to go to a party with them say no, my liver was crying for weeks.
He ushers me into a seat and the meeting continues as one normally would, me still being in complete shock that the Dionysus is the leading AA counselor.
"And thats all for today the quote i leave with you today is this 'Every addiction, no matter what it is, is the result of trying to escape from something by going in the direction of a need that is currently not being met. In order to move past our addiction, we have to figure out what we are trying to use our adduction to get away from and what need we are trying to use our addiction to meet"- Teal Swan." he says and a certian emotion crossed over me. One that i've felt before but it hits around ten times harder now. Guilt; the guilt that i've been throwing my life away while others try and help me.
Hell if Dionysus, the god of literal indugance, can pull himself up by his boot straps and help make the world a better place then so can i. And honestly i think that might make him one of the greatest AA counselers of all.
