Today, I was told by two very reliable sources that I need to rest…that I need to allow the anesthesia and other medications in my body to leave my system. Unlike during my many years of active alcoholism, when I would pretend that I wasn’t detoxing after a night of drinking and simply soldier through the day, I’m making the healthy choice today.

I’m choosing rest.

And this choice is making the third day of Grand Silence quite easy.
