Well, most of them don\u2019t care. The<br>others only have mild interest. Why should you<br>care? You have the high ground \u2013 the clear head, the<br>control, and the physical wellbeing \u2013 why should it<br>matter what others think? Most people who have a<br>contented life don\u2019t drink and most people who<br>achieve great success in just about any walk of life<br>don\u2019t drink. You are most definitely on the right<br>team.

The mythological Icarus flew with<br>wings of wax and feathers made by his father. They<br>melted when he flew too near the sun, and he<br>crashed into the sea. In the beautiful painting of<br>this cataclysmic event, none of the farmers and<br>bystanders shows any interest at all \u2013 they just don\u2019t<br>care. When we ourselves crash and burn, the same<br>apathy is often there. We think everybody is<br>watching us, but we are not as important as we once<br>believed \u2013 a lesson that is good for our egos. I pray<br>that I may reach out to others with gratitude to God<br>for making this possible.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>View VIDEO on Facebook&nbsp;&nbsp;https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=A100094027278120 Follow on TikTok Videos at&nbsp;Tiktok.com\/@recoverydays Remember Mindfulness \u2013 send positive thoughts Contentment If I\u2019m sober and others are drinking, what will theythink and say?
