I could really relate with the journey along the way of getting to why in the world wouldn't I be an alcoholic if, when I drank alcohol and the drugs I did too, if it quieted all of that aloneness like pretty quickly, like that defectiveness went away almost like magic, pretty quickly, and I couldn't understand why the rest of my family didn't drink the way I did.
