		<description><![CDATA[Tony H. from Pacific Palisades was a guest on a TV show awhile back and he related the following story: &#8220;I once asked a Jesuit priest what was the best short prayer he knew. He said, &#8216;fuck it,&#8217; as in &#8216;fuck it; it&#8217;s in God&#8217;s hands.&#8217;&#8221; I wish to God it was that easy to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Someone who knows me; who knows me well.  Someone who has seen the progression of my addiction from its very beginning.  Someone who purports to be sober. I couldn&#8217;t believe it.  The other thing I couldn&#8217;t believe is how appealing it sounded.  But I&#8217;ve been down that road before and I wasn&#8217;t about to take [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My ideals it turns out are so high that I am unable to live up to them myself.  I place the other in a position of superiority - and then when I am condescended to I resent them.  I'm not very  humble about what I have to offer in a relationship and I am rather demanding in what I am willing to accept.  And the thing that stings most about that is that, for me, this is progress. ]]></description>
