December 4th, 2015. I hadn't even planned on drinking that night. Some friends of my wife called her to meet up at a local watering hole to celebrate a job promotion. My wife (who doesn't even drink) wanted to go and asked me to come, which I accepted. I had two 22oz beers at the watering hole, no big deal. But then we came home and watched the movie "Going Clear", which details Scientology and the accounts of abuse from former members. I have some history with this sort of thing and it kind of hits home, so I made myself an Old Fashioned to take the edge off. And then another. And then another. I woke up the next morning totally hung over, puking, unable to get off the couch. I had big plans for that day; gym, errands, play some music, study. All of that was ruined and all I could do is rack out. I hadn't even planned on drinking that day, how the hell did I get to that point? I don't know what the future holds but I haven't had a drink since.
