Last week I read Blackout by Sarah Hepola. It's a memoir about alcoholism. I read the first half while drinking a six pack or so and got through all the war stories. The second half is about recovery and it was a good read for the day I resolved to quit drinking. I bought A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again for some light reading that isn't stupid. I won't read all of it since I don't care about anyone's opinions on tennis but it'll keep me busy for a while.
Four days sober. I drank some last night and I have a headache. After fifteen years of doing it every day, five drinks instead of ten is not so bad. I'm not doing AA so I don't have to be shamed by picking up a new chip on Saturday. It's called harm reduction in my group instead of "we're very disappointed in you for not praying to God instead of drinking."
