to be honest
I don't remember the first time
but
towards the end of my drinking days
I drank almost every morning before work
retired and sober now but when I worked
I would get up at around 4 AM and
take a few valiums
jump into the shower with a can or two of tall buds
yes - I drank those down while taking an early shower before work
it was always a rough ride to work
wondering at times if I would even make it
also I was called on the carpet at work over and over because of my drinking
it's crazy what a full blown alcoholic will do
I went to work in that condition even knowing
that I had before crashed many times due to the drink
we just don't learn while still drinking
something must happen for us to have a desire to stop
