I fell off the wagon [View all]

Again

Today

I am drunk right now

Or at least not sober

Why can't I control this shit?

Why am I a slave to this shit?

Surrounded by 6 bars around my workplace.

That's no excuse.

Any number of you here could walk past a beer bar and not bat an eye.

But not me.

Why am I so fucked up?

I need to attend a "meeting" for once
