Well, here goes. I’ve tried multiple online journals but they either charge money to use them, or they don’t allow comments and meaningful conversation about what you’re going thru. This first entry is basically a test to see if I can get any input about things I’m going thru. I guess I’ll start with my drinking. Some would see it as a problem, I personally don’t, and here’s why. I like to drink booze, but I don’t have to, and that I see is the fundamental difference between an alcoholic and a drunk. What most people consider an alcoholic, I consider a drunk. To me, a drunk is the kind of person that wakes up and more often than not immediately reaches for a drink. IMO, an alcoholic is one that enjoys alcohol, but isn’t driven by the desire to do whatever it takes to obtain it; that’s me.

I’ve been using these apps on my android phone to earn money. Believe it or not, I’ve done fairly well outside my normal job to earn some side cash. I use that to buy bourbon and put gas in my car. My wife is a “reformed alcoholic” as the mainstream term goes. She hasn’t drank in so long, she’s truly a lightweight. By that I mean that in 2 years, I’ve only seen her have a drink twice, and while I know how dangerous that can be for someone that used to be an alcoholic, I’m always there to ensure it doesn’t get nuts.

Personally, and this is the truth, I drink daily....well, nightly. I usually buy a half gallon of bourbon and that usually lasts me at least a week. The thing is, anytime I run out and have to go back to the liquor store to get some, my wife always has something to say. I can’t tell her I’ll be right back because she’ll always want to know every single detail of where I’m going. When I finally tell her, she just rambles on and on, saying the same thing over and over. Begins to sound like Charlie Brown’s school teacher…”Wah wah wah…” etc.

If you can’t already tell, I have ADD so following my trains of thought can be one hell of a challenge but if you’ve read this far, you’re doing well so congrats. ATM I don’t really know what else to write but I would love some comments on what I’ve written so far, or some advice. Let me know people.

Always,

Dreamer
