You know, it feels simultaneously weird and really okay to mix it up with recovering drug addicts, recovering alcoholics and recovering enablers. We all have a drug of choice that made us insane.

Mine is trying to help people who are quite capable of helping themselves. It doesn't roll off the tongue as easily as say, "my drug of choice is Stoli". Perhaps I should say, "my drug of choice is people". Insane. Working day by day to get sane.
