This is a good little parable that was a favorite at Bridgeway Treatment Center in Brevard, North Carolina back in the early 1990's. It points to the insanity that we experience in our addiction to drugs and alcohol as we continue to repeat behaviors that have been destructive in our lives. Enjoy. The story is still a good one!
