That's why I was saying it's not my way of trying to wriggle out of any culpability. It's just an analogy, of course. I know that Jekyll and Hyde come from the same source: me, myself, and I. My point is that the crazy sh*t I did when I was out of my mind drunk are the things I am paying for now and I wasn't even aware I was doing them! Lucky for me, I was able to get back to sanity when I stopped drinking, instead of ending up with "wet brain" and being permanently drunk. There have been times since this last bender that I was afraid that
had happened to me to some extent. I've heard it can happen suddenly, with no warning.
