Back on the Horse

“Are you going to ride in the tour next year?” Brat Boy asked.

“I’m going to try to do a 62 miler on my own before winter,” I said.

“Why not wait?”

“Because the longer I wait, the more time this failure has to percolate. The sooner I get going the more likely I am to do it.”

“Get right back on the horse, get right back on the bike.”

I said, “Exactly, I’ve seen people relapse, feel crushed, and drink more to deal with that feeling. They have a much harder time getting started on their recovery again.”

Today I’ll get right back to it.
