(Surimi): An alcoholic's life story is in three parts: The childhood before the first drink, the times from the first drink to the last drink, and thirdly, recovery or death. As usual, this and all other cookie cutter oversimplifications require hip boots, Gentlemen. It is only in individual examples that these waters get muddied. Birth. Insanity. Recovery or death.
Every example breaks every rule, including this rule. I am alcoholic. We are alcoholics. La-ti-da, ti-da, ti-da.
I did not drink today.
from All Drinking Aside (Rough Draft, Chapter 11)
