So it comes down to this.

So I've had THE discussion with two of my dearest friends. Apparently, my drinking has reached an unmanageable level. I'm not sure why I am just now realizing this. I mean, I've blown through two $1,500 student loan checks and about 5 paychecks.

It shouldn't be this fucking hard. I shouldn't be that person. I shouldn't need help to stop drinking. I should just be able to put the bottle down and walk away from it. I'm going to try it because frankly, I've not just tried that approach. It's going to suck. I am going to be bored.

My only advice at this point is to read some of Lawrence Block's "Matthew Scudder" novels. Wikipedia link here if it works.

In my opinion Block does an amazing job detailing his character's struggle with alcohol as it relates to daily life (in the world of a guy whose life is much more exciting than mine).

Testing 1 2 3.

And 'mouse, I really plan on checking those out this summer. I've got about ten books in my car right now that I have to plow through first.
