While listening to a radio talk show today going to work, the host's topic was about good versus evil and how each day we are faced with the temptations of evil and how we are always tempted by it no matter how good we try to be. To stay strong and protected against the lurking evil all around us, the speaker suggested staying faithful, positive and kind, etc...
This made me think of Addiction and how it too is like an evil monster that lurks in the darkness and is always waiting for those that can fall weak by its temptations.
When the addict or alcoholic gets the tools they need to stay sober, if they don't continue to do what is needed each day to remain sober they become vulnerable to relapse, and the armor of sobriety begins to weaken.
It inspired me to write the analogy below.
