Even when I moved to DC — which happened after I'd been euphemistically "underemployed" for 9 months — things didn't really change.

I once tried to flag down a cab on Connecticut Avenue and got into a guy's back seat — a guy who was ~NOT~ a cab driver.

I probably should have ended up in jail that night, or he could have beaten the crap out of me, but someone was watching out for me.

Some time later, I found out that driver was watching out for me that night: He was a sober guy, and he took me to a friend's place.

But, even that night, & a similar night in NYC, didn't do it. It turned out that what did it for me was when I just couldn't do it anymore.

That was June 27, 2010. As I told a friend later, I'd always had an excuse for my drinking: good things, bad things, stress, whatever.

But, in late June 2010, I found that I had no such excuse, and yet that I was still as out of control as ever with my drinking.

So, I started dealing with it. I talked to people, I found help, I stopped drinking, and — eventually — I changed my way of living.
