Drinking is an emotional thing. It joggles you out of the standardism of everyday life, out of everything being the same. It yanks you out of your body and your mind and throws you against the wall. I have the feeling that drinking is a form of suicide where you're allowed to return to life and begin all over the next day. It's like killing yourself, and then you're reborn. I guess I've lived about ten or fifteen thousand lives now.

drinking ended up being everyday life , and same old same old. utterly boring in the end.
sobriety and reality...now THERE is something that can throw me against the wall!

For me drinking was a prison. I am very happy to have escaped.

We all want to escape that prison. We all need help to escape it.

Thank you fini. Thank you for snagging that illusion right out of that sentence and slappin' it right upside the head. My addiction nodded and elbowed me when I read it....

And your words whipped the wind right out of its sails...thank you.
