D is for Disease. I suffer from the disease of addiction. I was at dis-ease within myself, and I looked for things outside of myself to make me feel better.
The only problem is that the disease is progressive, and when I wanted to stop, I could not. I always had to have more. Thanks to the 12 Step Programs I was not only able to quit, but stay quit, one day at a time. Just for today, I choose not to use drugs in any form. Alcohol is a drug. Food is a drug. Work can be a drug. I can be addicted to busy, so I don't have to look at myself.
