The judge releases me on remand after the scariest court appearance my drinking has caused me, then, within seconds, bam! I go and do something stupid
I take the fatal first drink and by the end of that day I had been arrested again. How could it happen. Number one I was just face to face in the most compelling way with a good reason not to drink, and two, when I took the drink, I just wanted to relax and had no intention of getting locked up again.
Well, that seems to be the pattern for a chronic alcoholic.
