So, here I am again.  Been a long time since I posted anything on here and there has been much water and booze under the bridge.  Stayed sober for 385 days and it was total bliss.  Then decided in my wisdom that I had learned to drink like a gentleman.  This is both right and wrong.  True, I don’t go out and black out and get drunk in public anymore, but I do binge drink at home regularly.  Last night, a Thursday night, I decided I was going to have a drink.  12 beers, one cone and a packet of smokes later….Up for work at 7am and feeling sick as a dog.  Sadly this is not unusual for me and can happen any day of the week.  I have so much to be thankful for and appreciative of, but still chase the numbness and oblivion.  I can’t for the life [...]
