Thanks for the support.
I was being sarcastic when I said "i'm an alcoholic and I love to get high" because in all honesty I don't have a real answer to that question. Why did I do it? Because I love to be intoxicated. There wasn't anything special or a triggering event.
I simply went back home to CO for Christmas and decided to buy some legal pot there. That was the beginning of the end of my sobriety. It was only a few months after that I had my first drink. Why?
Well I was paid by Heineken to create an add for them. So I was going to purchase a single bottle to take photos of, and of course I couldn't only find a six pack. I brought it home and couldn't resist drinking.
Things escalated quick, and I've been daily drinking for over 3 weeks now.
