Ma was right. You drink booze to celebrate something, no matter how small. Celebrate a birthday, a raise at work, the store having a sale on shoes, no matter what you give a reason for excitement and joy before filling the glass. Lately I've been taking the bottle in secret while she sleeps on the fold out, the telly fighting against the static trying over power the program. I whisper things that I am celebrating, last time it was Tuesday, that's all, just Tuesday. I'm surprised she hasn't noticed the liquid sinking lower and lower in the bottle, or perhaps she has. After all she's only wanted to protect and help me.
