Drinking becomes an excuse or something to do for everything. I drank to celebrate, I drank to commiserate, I drank because I felt good and I drank when I was sad. Absolutely everything that happened in my life, I turned to booze and/or drugs. You could say that my booze was my Higher Power.
I like my new Higher Power much better. He's not so fickle.
All that being said - as Freud would have said - sometimes a sinus infection .... is just a sinus infection
Get better soon
