Before You Judge The Book

I recently returned from a trip to Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe in Africa. As a heartburn sufferer, I was looking for an antacid and couldn't find one or should I say I spent the next hour or so frantically looking for an antacid :-) It would have helped if I had simply tossed the drawer I keep the antacids in as they had fallen under the wire cutlery basket. The story however is not about the antacid rather how I realised what an addict must go through looking for a quick fix.

From that day on I promised myself that I would never judge an alcoholic, drug or gambling addict ever again as I felt for a split second what it must feel like looking for that fix. I wish Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous and Gamblers Anonymous continued success with the programs they run as it cannot be easy!
