Po Box 1980

When i was an activealcoholic, no two words coming from my mouth were more hollow than, "I'm sorry." I became quite proficient at apologizing, but only in order to diminish or avoid consequences. In fact, I got so good at preemptively groveling in front of authority figures, that afterward they would often commend me for coming forward and addressing the issue. But I never had an ounce of remorse! Not once did I reflect on my wrong behavior.
