I often find the posts here so forthright and honest that you have to just appreciate the candor and humanity.
Bless you, JB.
Me? Vodkaholic: Hate beer, like a glass or two of Cab with dinner. Imagine being in a Navy squadron at Pacers strip club in San Diego and ordering a Merlot, in the 80's
Then.
I came home from a Friday flight when I was at VX-1 and forgot to get some wine. In the freezer was a 5th of Vodka, my roommates. I thought, why not...I'll replenish whatever I have tomorrow.
It was on.
While I have enough self discipline to ward off most bad habits, I needed help with this one...thank God for friends who put up with my fits and starts getting off the Ketel One Train. The insidious nature of vodka, in my case, is that I never got drunk, just maintained the buzz. That, and I only let the big dog eat on weekends.
10 years in and I watch myself everyday. No more weekends, no more Vodka.
We are all addicts in one way or another...how we face the truth of a specific addiction is often a miracle, and I mean that. I needed help and the Little Angels that try and help if you pay attention were there.
I paid attention.
