My drug of choice was booze. But the behavior and emotional patterns I exhibited could apply to all addicts. Each addiction obviously has some unique differences, but, in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Woody Allen once said that whenever he was somewhere, he always wanted to be somewhere else. We are never satisfied, it seems, to be where we are. There is always some other goal to attain, some other fantasy to fulfill, some other dessert we haven&#8217;t tried. I say that to all my twitter friends because [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Before I started to write an essay on surrender, I went to my twitter page and tried to send another one of my many “What are you doing” twitter messages. Up popped a mysteriously serious black-and-white message, “HTTP Server Error 503.” I was back in Kafka land, the world of high-tech jargon, a cosmos that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was listening to an NPR program, “On Point,” the other day and a writer was being interviewed about his book in which he claims that alcoholism is not a disease but an ism of  choice.
