No matter how bad the hangover in the morning, I could always find an inescapable reason to get drunk that very next night, no matter what. No matter how strongly I may have told myself “never again,” the disease of alcoholism would dissolve my resolve before the liquid night called alcohol would dissolve my brain....
[Sotto, Vatchi and Surimi speak before Jim concludes the chapter]:
Nothing matters more than that we remain sober because when we remain sober, everything matters more.
from All Drinking Aside (Rough Draft, Chapter 50)
