Better to have a bottle in front of me,

than a frontal lobotomy...

On day nine now, I think, I have stayed very drunk the last few days which has helped a fair bit but has the consequence of blurring time a little.  Must be day nine ;)

Got to sober up now, got the kids tomorrow, time to man up and actually face this thing cold turkey.

Feeling confident, the problem with 'hope at the end of the tunnel' is that I always see the flip side of it, an epic fail!
