The Alcoholic Brain - Simplefied

I break down my alcoholic brain
into two parts.

The barking bad dog, and the good
dog. The bad dog is the back of my
brain and the good dog is the front
of my brain, easy enough.

Now all the barking bad dog can do
is suggest, other than that, he can't
do anything. So bad dog suggest,
let go get a drink, it will make us feel
better and lets go to a bar, remember
the last time, we meet that lady and
we went home with her, wasn't that
great and lets leave now maybe she
will be there now, but be quite and
don't wake up the wife and keep the
family dog from barking, what a pest,
I will come up with a plan to get rid
of him.

Well now, good dog digested all of that
and he is thinking it over, because he
is the one with the actual power to
follow through with bad dogs
suggestions. Good dog is the one with
the money, car and knows where the
bar is and can make it happen . I like listening to barking bad dog because
his suggestions make me feel good, if I
follow through.

My next blog will be about the tools I
have learned to use in the Veterans
Addiction Program to combat barking
bad dog.

As a final note, for you Lady Veterans,
I came across a site called Sobriety Girl,
a lot of interesting articles and facts and
its for guys to, I enjoy reading her blog.
