I've been drinking immoderately for twenty years (I'm 41), mainly to forget a very strong inferiority complex that I've systematically tried to mitigate with compensatory narcissism. I've been living in ethylic fantasy, all the while avoiding my daily responsibilities as a father and as a teacher.

I'll be posting here every day, as regularly as possible, sharing with utmost sincerity my thoughts on my new life. Will you join me, with your experience, your hope, your advice?

Yours,

Francis
