| The thing about drinking was.....
It made me absolutely crazy. As soon as I had a sip, I began to obsess--about when I would have the next drink, what I would drink, how much I would drink, would I stop at 2, 4, 6, 12, did others notice how much I was drinking. I found myself trying to gauge how much I was consuming by how others drank. Then I would spend the whole time thinking, "I wish he/she would just hurry up and finish that drink so I can have another." Pretty soon I would quit trying to do that and go ahead and go nuts. Then there were the times when I drank at home alone. I would constantly say--I will finish this task, then I will have another. I will just have one more, then I will go to bed. It was absolute insanity. I am so thankful that my life is so much more simple now.
Thanks, Doug.
