Drinking Deep Thoughts

[i_17bingo]

I'd promised Kate that I'd stop drinking after I fell to the ground and couldn't get back up. It wasn't the first time I'd fallen like that, but we wanted it to be the last. I told her I'd cool it for a while.

“Not good enough,” she said. “Stop completely for a month.”

So I stopped drinking. Around her.

It's hard to leave something like that behind. I'm glad you did, though.

This is really honest. And I'm sorry you struggle with this. *hugs* I stopped drinking fifteen years ago. I don't miss that, but I think I will always miss smoking cigs.

This such a tough thing to struggle with, and I'm sure glad you've succeeded in overcoming it.

Wow! This is powerful.

I especially liked this line:
"I don't remember the last drink I took, but I remember the first one I didn't. "
