My worst was driving my pregnant wife to the hospital drunk. It was earlier than expected; I had planned to stop drinking when it got closer to the due date.

Memories from way back - I drank and used all through high school - can be problematic because even though I got in trouble numerous times, most of the memories make me smile. But not all...

In the more recent past, I was dosing myself as an escape while depressed, late at night at home. I cannot be trusted to be my own doctor.
