I told myself for a long time that I was destined to always be a drinker...
I was one of those who was too raw too sensitive for reality
I had a lot of problems that were better treated with alcohol rather than nasty chemical pharmaceuticals
I was following in the footsteps of giants like Dylan Thomas, Brendan Behan, Jack Kerouac and F Scott Fitzgerald....
and after all... we all have to die of something, right?
All that was utter bollocks.
And deep down I knew it, but to play along was easier, or so it seemed.
I had a lot of talents, and a lot to give...but I was giving nothing to anyone in my life as a drinker.
The fact was I was scared Vic - I was scared of not drinking, I was scared of change, and I was scared of not having alcoholism as an excuse anymore.
I think you don't really believe what you typed before either - you wouldn't come back here if you did.
It's obvious to me you have a lot to give too.
Sometimes the measure of our lives comes down to how we're remembered.
how do you want to be remembered Vic?
