If all he needs is a bar stool and a burger sounds like he's got life sorted to me. Us idiots that live in the rat race are the real losers IMO.

As Carl Jung said to Bill Wilson, cofounder of AA, You see, Alcohol in Latin is “spiritus” and you use the same word for the highest religious experience as well as for the most depraving poison. The helpful formula therefore is: spiritus contra spiritum. https://wccm.org/outreach-areas/addiction-recovery/carl-jung-letter-to-bill-w/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't count the ramblings of a cult cofounder as a reliable source. Hard to find stats on alcoholics as most lie. I suggest you read up about Carl Jung, who is a very well respected doctor, responsible for the start of AA. He worked with many alkies and said it was very rare for any to recover without some kind of psychic change or spiritual experience. I've been in AA for many years and met thousands of recovered alkies, who tell me that it was only by finding God, as they understood Him, that they managed to recover. https://aa.activeboard.com/t50210691/carl-jung-and-alcoholics-anonymous/ Edited July 21, 2023 by Neeranam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
