Right now I am away from home, alone in a hotel room on a Friday night (here for work). This is the same city where I used to do most of my drinking.
I remember those days traveling back home after a three day bender - hundreds & hundreds of dollars worth of crumpled Visa and ATM receipts all spent on booze. That on top of my big tears and my even bigger bag of problems. Wow...that sucked.
I think I'll go shopping - buy something nice for my wife and kids.
Thanks for the inspiration!
