"King Alcohol"

 
(Vatchi): Even Jim's somewhat inept ability to describe human frailties is at least partly due to his own frailties. Experience trumps talent. At times not understanding the depth of his own remarks, and at other times, over-estimating himself completely.

Like you mentioned before about list making and the illusion of being in control, all of this, all of this, all of this is about Jim coming to grips with himself, with his life, with his alcoholism.

Whistling in the dark. And then...

Enter, stage left, "King Alcohol".

from All Drinking Aside (Rough Draft, Day 46)
