It has been a long time

Even as someone who loves words like I do, the alcoholism consumes time most of all.

I'm a very functional alcoholic. I only drink in the off-work hours, and am pretty careful about drinking just enough to make myself pass out and yet not suffer a hangover.

However. I have now reached a point where my habit is financially unsustainable. (Holy crap, it only took something over two years.) More than anything, I have to drag myself out of this in order to save my family financially.

I've made a resolution, and I've made some progress. This is day two. I am working on quitting. I won't be 100% sober for about another week, minimally, but I'm making progress towards that.

And I want to record that progress. I want to make it out of here.
