Well it sucks to fail at self-control. I've always been a moderate bender of a drinker but it's got to a point where I'm physically, emotionally and mentally weak. Depression and alcohol are pretty close little lovers (alcohol is a depressant) and I've been sandwiched in the love triangle. Almost a decade of being a barfly in seattle means I know people in almost every bar. Makes it pretty difficult when you can drink afterhours or for free in 5 or so bars.
Anyway I've been doing this far to long so it's come to the point where I have to call it quits. When you wake up in a cold sweat with the shakes feeling like your heart is going to stop at any second that should be your wake-up call. I've been considering AA but don't like that god crap and self-help stuff makes me noxious. Fortunately I have a couple friends that gave up the bottle 4 or so years ago, though they didn't drink as long or as much as I have I draw a lot of strenth and inspiration from them. Fawk, now I'm sounding like a fight club self-help group. Well, the coffee's free and it's cheaper than a movie.
