Training Wheels

“There is one silver lining to this,” I said. “You won’t have access to porn in the hospital. It’ll give you time away from your addiction.”

“No, I won’t have access,” Weedman agreed. “But does the time I spend not pursuing my addiction count if I have no other choice?”

“I think it does.  It’s like training wheels on a bike. You may not be balancing the bike, but you are pedaling and you still cover ground.  It’s like the alcoholic who can’t get booze in jail.  His body and brain start to heal no matter why he’s not drinking.”

“I hope you’re right.”

Today I will be grateful for whatever keeps me from my addiction.
