More times than not when I go to have a beer I don't stop until I'm drunk and sometimes not even then. I spend all of my time planning my next drink and I avoid situations where I can't drink. I even skipped the Magic Kingdom on a Disney trip with my family because I couldn't drink. That never sounded crazy to me until now!

I will hit the Saturday meeting tomorrow and see how I feel then.
