Fawlty Showers

Half-Measures

While Dr. Deb looked over the pumpkins, I texted my gym buddy. offering to help him get into a rehab.  He didn’t think he was that bad.

“Half measures availed us nothing,” I muttered, quoting a line from AA’s Big Book.

“What?” Dr. Deb asked.

“Sorry, I was mumbling to myself.  In AA they warn you about half measures.  If you want to recover from an addiction, you gotta be all in,” I said.  “When you are, the rewards flow.”

She smiled. “What about marriage?”

I smiled back, pulled her close and added, “You both gotta be all in.  When you are, it’s the greatest.”

Today I will be all in.
