Why So Serious?

When speaking about the alcoholic who is in the process of sobering up or whether they are in Recovery and needs to feel the spirit of Recovery, what the alcoholic will most likely respond to is earnestness. Define "earnestness" : that being: "serious intensity". As an alcoholic in Recovery, I often engage in earnestness and no one but another alcoholic will engage with me. For me, carrying the message of Recovery is so important to me that I automatically profess it with dead serious  intensity. For this is a matter of life or death whete if someone like me relapses, meaning I drink alcohol, that which has happened to others who drank! Like: one lady because she decided to drink "a beer" within a couple of months she was still drinking (alcoholically) she got a revolver stuck the barrel in her mouthand pullef the trigger. She met her Makerthat day, damn it! Another who began hanging out at bars, because of the close proximity between his hand and (I'll say it again) "a beer" within three weeks he died of a barbituate overdose. You see why I don't have as many friends as I'd like! Me? Why didn't I "keep them from drinking?" Because they didn't ask me for help...which would have included a great dose of earnestness...BEFORE THEY DRANK THAT FIRST BEER! Believe me, I miss people whom have died because they drank...heartbreakers! See why I so much push earnestness at those I love who are still sober?
