Summary: An unforgettable masterpiece of the heart
Comment: This book reminded me fondly of my youth, when each of us would gather 'round the dinner table, say an opening prayer, and then proudly stand and announce our names and addictions whilst saluting the flag. Even Brenda, my late ex-lover and confidante, would rise from her wheelchair to admit her shame-free co-dependant cross-addiction to aspirin, sleeping pills, pepto-bismal, diet sugar-free cola, Raisinets, Skittles, Newport menthols, and snortable Oxycontin. Page after endless page, we repeated our optimistic mantra that every day was a new day, no matter what day of the week it was, and that they just keep coming, one at a time, some 365 or so times a year. Brenda, may she rest in peace, had just earned her two month purple heart of sobriety when God, in his infinite wisdom, chose to recycle her precious soul. But even in those somewhat difficult moments, all I had to do was open any given page of the Big Book to find meaning and purpose in life, and a way to cope with immeasurable despair. I took to carrying on Brenda's rambling message and now use her wheelchair as if it were my own, and have adopted her other so-called bad habits just to see what it's like to ride around in her shoes for a while. I am only now beginning to understand myself through Brenda's Christlike example. Have you ever tried to drag a Jesus-sized cross up a mountain through six inches of mud in the middle of winter? Brenda did it. Have you ever tried selling crack at the local elementary school just to get enough money for a hot lunch for your late ex-lover? Brenda did it. Have you ever run a three-minute mile whilst pulling a backhoe? Brenda did it. She was my miracle worker and my nightingale, always posing seductively in her shiny chrome armoir. She was hell on wheels. Thank you for this book!
