I questioned a lot of my choices. Like: my husband. My home. My dog. My job (derp). My not singing. My … everything.

That was uncomfortable.

Questioning myself and KNOWING that I’m making a bad decision by drinking, well, far easier.

Shit. If I’ve learned anything, though, it’s that knowledge doesn’t equal action.

Shit, and shit again.
