James’ Letter

Dear Alcohol

We have been lovers for more than thirty years. I have enjoyed our frequent romps together but lately however I am not feeling satisfied when we do our thing. The two glasses of nice red last night confirmed this for me. I pushed through to finish that half bottle from the night before but I was not enjoying it one bit.

I think the love is gone. I also feel that you are jealous of my other lover, Yoga. You are interfering in that very special relationship. I know you have many lovers, but I tolerated it as we could still have fun most of the time. Why then do you then not reciprocate? Its would only fair!

Consequently our relationship has become a lot like doing handstands against the wall, it feels fake. I would rather try handstands in the middle of the room, even though I may fall more easily. Its much more exciting and I feel better for not having the bad lover (the wall) who makes my body bend in a bad way (thanks Susanna for that “bad lover” comparison, its has stayed with me for ever and kept me in the middle of the room).

So I left the www workshop wanting to moderate our relationship but on reflection I think we need to part ways for good.

Yours sincerely

James
