The Shrink that, one day, after he told me I was an alcoholic.
This was after I stopped in a bar in Ft Lauderdale after work on Friday, and woke up in Virginia Beach the next Tuesday, with nothing but a pair of cut-off shorts, and no frigging clue what happened that weekend.
That was about the third time Something like that had happened.
I quit drinking for years, and did very well.

If I thought I could drink in safety I would, but the last time I tried that I was drunk for a year and a half.

I finally decided to see if I could have a beer without going apeshit, and it worked out OK. So far, I have been able to keep it under control. Just a beer with dinner, or maybe two when meeting with co-workers. The fear of fucking my life up, so far has kept me doing well.
I suppose, one day, I might just not give a fuck, and that will be the time it all comes down. With luck, that will be when I am a doddering old fart wandering a Mexican Beach with nowhere in particular I need to be.
