Here in the uk there are a few different news channels, there is one that is pretty dire, like a tabloid newspaper, sensationalist and dramatic, another presents itself as serious and balanced but it skirts the issues, ignores or only just touches on the important stuff. Then there is channel 4, its looking for the truth, asks nitty gritty questions, takes risks, goes further and deeper. My recovery has evolved and so i only watch channel 4 now. That sounds snobby. I dont care much, that sounds arrogant, i still dont care much, im a work in progress, not quite fully there yet, thats ok. I think if i was a news channel i would be channel 4 these days with a few days of the others here and there. i have landed in the real world with wide eyes and wanting more of it. Im sick of the lies and dysfunction, its everywhere, dont you think? Its like ive been living in a dark cave, i get freedom to see the daylight but the cave is there inviting me in. Im learning its not only alcoholism that can provide a home for denial.
