My experience with sobriety is we only sober up when we're desperate. For some that means multiple DUI's, jail, interventions, etc... for others it could be slurring your words slightly when reading your kids a bedtime story.
There is no doubt. I am an alcoholic. I just seem to keep it in check for now, but when I am alone, look out.

rest well everyone.
