Well. here I sit getting ready to go to another wake, this one's for
someone very much like myself. Except that he recently picked up again,
while I, by the grace of God, did not.
 
My last bender, which lasted about 10 months back in '84-'85, sometimes
doesn't seem as though it was all that bad. And now that I think about
it, Jimmy's wasn't all that much different, "not so bad". I did have
some fun, and good times then. So did Jimmy. It wasn't all bad. But it
was bad enough...
 
But Jimmy's recent death due directly to his use and abuse has reminded
me that SO WHAT I OFTEN HAD A GOOD TIME..
 
Then again, what exactly was fun to me?
 
Surviving car wrecks? Juggling the books to stay one step ahead of
everybody? How about running out of funds before the party was over?
Waking up (cotton mouth) wondering where I was? Not being able to
remember the simplest things? Broke on Sunday after a Friday payday?
Lying?
 
Later aligator...
