Sobriety was more like the road to Damascus for me. I was walking in one direction, got slapped in the face with some bad news, which was the result of my drunkenness, simply said "I'm done", and never looked back. That was eighteen months ago.

fast forward the movie.

If it ends badly, that's all you need to know.
Good luck and God Bless
