Are you kidding me?

I went to therapy yesterday. Contrary to the "Go to an AA meeting" lecture, we actually discussed the history of my drinking. She wants me to write down when I first started drinking, how it made me feel, why I kept doing it, and to dig up and write down all the feelings (the good, bad, funny and sad) that I can.

I have a week to do this.

I started drinking at age 11. I am soon to be 44. That's 33 years of drinking. I think I'll summarize. What is astonishing to me is this - I actually can remember my first drink. 33 years doesn't seem thaaat long ago. The scarey part is 33 years from nooow...I'll be 77 years old!!
