Lifeline

When the Covid virus hit, it suddenly became no longer safe and acceptable to hold hands in our AA meetings and offer each other a friendly hug. Then the meetings closed down and I began my quarantine at home, working nine hours a day from my kitchen. I used to spend my last few years of drinking alone in my living room with vodka. So the idea of spending 24 hours every day in the same place I used to drink was unsettling.
