A Few Thoughts About...Humor

We can be SO SERIOUS about this process of quitting drinking. And while the situation we find ourselves in may indeed be serious - or we could at the least be on the road towards some serious situations - making the process heavy and intense the whole time is not the answer. What if we could make progress WITHOUT the serious heaviness? What if injecting humor could actually HELP us get where we want to go?
