I am a drunk. I drink like I breath oxygen. To me, a beer bottle is as sexy as the body of a woman. Alcohol seduces me but not too long ago that seduction lead me to a DUI. That DUI then lead me to prison and a order from the court demanding I enroll into the A.A which began my journey towards sobriety.

January 1, 2015, would you believe this? I was scheduled to attend my first A.A meeting on New Year’s Day, the following day where everyone I know got pissed. So here I go, pissed off and sober. The room where these, including I, sober drunk idiots met up. The only thing that used to get me smiling was when I had a beer up in my hands.

His eyes were wide open, and I new that he was thinking the same thing that I had heard from everyone else. Doesn’t feel to you like suicidal?
Someone in the front row finally stood up and said, “My name’s Albert, and I’m an alcoholic.” The group responded with a less-than-enthusiastic, “Hi, Albert.” it turned out, he was running the meeting, although in a very loose fashion. I’m sure they recognized I was the new guy, because they started going around the room for introductions. “Hi, I’m so-and-so and I’m

What sparked my interest (in addition to her smile) was that she was squeezing the oranges by hand. They say you learn something new every day. That day, I learned it takes a good 12 oranges to make one small glass of juice. A trip to the bathroom revealed a coin operated lock on the stall door. Yes, here in San Carlos…
