The more I accept that inspi­ra­tion is elu­sive, the less I go look­ing and the more I sim­ply wait for it to find me. Some­times, we look so hard for some­thing that we miss it. So I’m learn­ing to be OK with the unan­swered and the unpre­dictable and the incon­sis­tent. I’ve real­ized that some­times ask­ing ques­tions is more inspir­ing than hav­ing all the answers.

Alco­holism is basi­cally a dis­ease of indi­vid­u­al­ism. It afflicts peo­ple who from early child­hood develop a strong sense of being psy­cho­log­i­cally alone and on their own in the world. This soli­tary out­look pre­vents them from gain­ing emo­tional release through asso­ci­a­tions with other peo­ple, but they find they can get this emo­tional release by drink­ing. So they become depen­dent on alco­hol in the way other peo­ple are depen­dent on their social rela­tion­ships with friends and relatives
