Sample Book Insights:
#1 I drank when I was happy, anxious, bored, and depressed. I would raid my parents’ liquor cabinet the year my father was dying. I’d made the promise on a Sunday the previous July, in the midst of a pounding hangover.
#2 I made a promise to my mother that I would cut down on drinking. I didn’t keep that promise for several years, but I did eventually go to Alcoholics Anonymous.
#3 I loved the way alcohol made me feel, and I loved its special ability to deflect my attention away from my own awareness of self and onto something else. I loved the sounds of drink, and the rituals. I loved everything about it, except for the fact that it became my central relationship, my obsession, and eventually my crutch.
#4 I was relieved to see Elaine that way. I was not that bad. I had lots of rules, and I never drank in the morning or at work. I always abided by them. Still, I looked in the mirror sometimes and thought, What happened. I had the CV of a model citizen or a gifted child, not a common drunk.
