I felt quite cruel watching it. Poor man. And its so pointless asking a drunk person to stop drinking.

Been there... done that.... got the t-shirt...

I remember those days all too well... I blacked most of them out, but I do remember sitting in the kitchen slurring (after probably 20 or so beers and an Ambien) with a bottle of beer in my hand. Then I just dropped it and glass went everywhere...

Thank you God, for doing for me what I could not do for myself....keeping me sober.

Thanks Homer for the reminder.

I started but I just can't watch that right now. Much too painful.

I couldn't get past where the sandwhich fell apart and he slurred this is a mess... If I wasn't at work I would have watched the rest and balled my eyes out...

I know why someone would tape it... to show it to him later...

Hey... How you been Homer... good to see you...

Fascinating! That was SOME hamburger. Have to stop by the Wendy's on the way back from the meeting. THat poor girl, handing him napkins and talking to him like he was capable of using his brain for some useful purpose. All that sheilding him from the big hard cold reality.

Thank GOD I don't have to live like that anymore!
