		<description><![CDATA[During my active alcoholic/addiction days, I vividly remember believing that if I descended into the booze enough, I would somehow come out car-wash clean.

		<description><![CDATA[(This is another blog post on addiction and may help non-addicts understand the many-layered world of addiction, a world I once inhabited and continue to recover from. Because addiction is an equal-opportunity emotional and physical derailment, I purposely shift between the pronouns, &#8220;he&#8221; and &#8220;she&#8221; to avoid the impression that men have a monopoly on [...]]]></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[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.
