The Same Question
“Why don’t you just stop drinking?” our nonalcoholic friends ask when they
see our situation. We shrug, and we smile with the charm most alcoholics
can muster when necessary, and we change the subject quickly. But in the
dank miasma of the pre-dawn sweats, when we lie sleepless and sick in the
rumpled sheets, we ask ourselves the same question, and we cannot reply.
