Vampires, Werewolves, and Alcoholism Part 2

 Part 2 My take on all of the hoopla surrounding vampires is this: They are dependent on human blood. They are lonely creatures who isolate and have this dark romantic side. Some can come out only at night, others, well can function in daylight.

 I remember the worst days of my addiction. Waking up in the middle of the night, looking up at the stars, and writing poetry. Feeling horrible like my body would cave in when I didn't drink. My take on all of this is metaphoric rather than physical. Now that I'm in recovery and leading a life again I still enjoy the different vampire dramas. My parents think I'm nuts, but I'm alright w/that today. Who wouldn't want to look young forever, have superhuman strength and quick reflexes? It's a very seductive quality that draws us to these stories. As my friend said recently, I'm from the land of the not-quite-right, where everything's alright...Because I know what I'm about and my friends in recovery accept me.

More will be revealed....
