Natan Last takes a detour.https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/44272/the-road-not-taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
"Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,"

"In the middle
of the journey of our life, I came to myself, in a dark wood, where the
direct way was lost. It is a hard thing to speak of, how wild, harsh
and impenetrable that wood was, so that thinking of it recreates the
fear. It is scarcely less bitter than death: but, in order to tell of
the good that I found there, I must tell of the other things I saw
there.
I cannot rightly say how I entered it. I was so full of sleep, at
that point where I abandoned the true way. But when I reached the foot
of a hill, where the valley, that had pierced my heart with fear, came
to an end, I looked up and saw its shoulders brightened
with the rays of that sun that leads men rightly on every road. Then
the fear, that had settled in the lake of my heart, through the night
that I had spent so miserably, became a little calmer. And as a man,
who, with panting breath, has escaped from the deep sea to the shore,
turns back towards the perilous waters and stares, so my mind, still
fugitive, turned back to see that pass again, that no living person ever
left.
After I had rested my tired body a while, I made my way again over empty ground, always bearing upwards to the right. And, behold, almost at the start of the slope, a light swift leopard with spotted coat. It would not turn from before my face, and so obstructed my path, that I often turned, in order to return.
The time was at the beginning of the morning, and the sun was mounting up with all those stars, that were with him when Divine Love first moved all delightful things, so that the hour of day, and the sweet season, gave me fair hopes of that creature with the bright pelt. But not so fair that I could avoid fear at the sight of a lion, that appeared, and seemed to come at me, with raised head and rabid hunger, so that it seemed the air itself was afraid; and a she-wolf that looked full of craving in its leanness, and, before now, has made many men live in sadness. She brought me such heaviness of fear, from the aspect of her face, that I lost all hope of ascending. And as one who is eager for gain, weeps, and is afflicted in his thoughts, if the moment arrives when he loses, so that creature, without rest, made me like him: and coming at me, little by little, drove me back to where the sun is silent.
While I was returning to the depths, one appeared, in front of my eyes, who seemed hoarse from long silence. When I saw him, in the great emptiness, I cried out to him ‘Have pity on me, whoever you are, whether a man, in truth, or a shadow!’ He answered me: ‘Not a man: but a man I once was, and my parents were Lombards, and both of them, by their native place, Mantuans.

Let’s Open Up About Addiction and Recovery
There is a lot to be said for speaking out about your recovery from alcohol and drug abuse."This openness flies in the face of tradition. Since Alcoholics Anonymous was founded in 1935, anonymity has been the recovery community’s bedrock. In 12-step meetings, people identify themselves by first names only. Outside “the rooms,” they often don’t reveal that they are members of these programs at all."
Do what works.
