He didn't go as far to check my stuff, but in a small hotel room, there was nowhere to hide it. I put it in the public hotel bathroom in the garbage can and made many excuses to leave the room.

I used to work at a caravan park/trailer park, and one of the residents used to hide her vodka bottles in the bins in the toilet cubicles. Everybody knew.

I used to shake my head sadly, and think "Poor woman. Obviously got a big problem."

Then I'd go home and drink a half-bottle of rum til bedtime.

Things I love about being sober? Well it's early days for me, but just feeling human again. Having energy and feeling good for the first time in over a decade :D
