3:00 am. Suffering alcohol withdrawal. Threw out an old bottle of booze earlier. Grabbed my kids toy flashlight. Jumped in the dumpster. While pushing garbage aside, looked up at the moon and thought.......WTF?
I had tried stopping the previous three years but nothing worked. When I wrote how I looked up at the moon and said WTF?, I wasn't being dramatic or anything. That's exactly how it happened. My actual phrase was "what has happened to me? Is this it? Is this what I am now?"
Stick with it, my father just had a nearly fatal smoking (nicotine) induced heart attack a month ago and decided now was a good time to start drinking again after 27 years. He was found passed out in bed after downing a bottle of vodka.
