SO went crazy for meditating when I told him I was leaving if he couldn't control his drinking... AA pushes crap like that. Years ago I was with a guy who read 7 Story Mountain and Mount Analogue and decided he was going to be a monk. I was quite insulted b/c at the time all I wanted was S, D and R&R. He was the one who introduced me to Knife Hits, after all, he couldn't abandon me for some crack pot spiritual calling! Now he bartends at the that one Brit bar.... so I can never go there.
