Wow, thanks Gonzo (hey sweetie!)
I didn't read the whole thing, but I get the gist. It's hard to get past the startlingly arrogant writing style, actually. "100% impossible"??? Who the hell does he think he is? I'm a unique and beautiful snowflake, dammit! Who knows what I'm capable of?
So yeah, I agree with your opening post - a public way to ensure that all of us white-knuckling, still-struggling, making it but dammit it's not easy ya smug b@stard (draw a breath) recovering alcoholics kinds hope the git falls off the wagon.
Oh, I may draw some heat for that...
BTW, did anyone else hear Stan from American Day narrating as they were reading it? No? Read it again...
England is both sunnier and nicer than Paris, Gonzo. Just thought I'd let you know...
