I was never a really much of a binge drinker. I would get really sick. I was a steady hard drinker. I live so much better now, though. I find meaning and relief in things besides whiskey and gin now. I come home to my family now instead of to a bottle. Sounds cheesy, but it's true. Wow, 8 years of sobriety. That just reminds me that it will always be a day-by-day endeavor for me.
