My love for live music means spending a lot of time around people who are drinking, including the inevitable obnoxious drunks. They sometimes remind me of my old ways, and I still feel the pangs of old embarrassments... but mostly I just feel grateful that those days are behind me. 
Mostly though I'm struck by how the majority of people drink responsibly, just taking a sip now and then, no big deal if they take it or leave it. Now those people I do not understand at all, lol....

Yes, 2 recent occasions.. New Years Eve and Superbowl. Both times people where doing what they do. Shots, acting outta of control, going way beyond the limits of what was "normal" and I'm sure, very hungover over the next day. Being hungover most of all is what confirms me not drinking anymore.

My alcohol behavior
Funny, I've locked up a lot of drunks when I was working. Now I am an alcoholic
trying to quit. Karma lol? Unlike a lot of alcoholics, I drink alone. There has al ways been a stigma about that I never quite understood. I am tired of black
outs and my stomach killing me the day after and looking on my caller ID the
morning after seeing numbers of people who called me having no memory of the
phone conversations. I'm tapering off of it but have a ways to go to be sober.
What scares me is falling on something sharp. I had a good friend who tied
one on by himself. He fell on some sharp glass and bled out. Maybe that is the reason you should not drink alone. My last drink was Feb 14. I drink Bartons so
it is affordable. But my goal is sobriety. I've home detoxed off off 3 years use
of 5 percocet 10/325 a day and 30mg MS-Contin. I just detoxed off 400 mg of
Seroquel a day. There were a lot of sleepless nights. The only medications I take is Wellbutrin 300 ER and 8mg of Xanax (for depression and PTSD). Wish me
luck as I continue to taper.

That is quite a stretch

was a jailor. I remember we had a high level dope dealer locked up on a 50,000
dollar bond. I was working the front desk and the inmate's lawyer walked in with a briefcase with 50,000 cash. I had to phone the shift supervisor and we
spent quite a while counting that money lol.
