2 beers tonight so far.

ME: “Did you keep your no drinking before 6 p.m rule?”

EM: “Almost…5 p.m.”

ME: “But you broke your one night a week rule.”

EM: “I did…I did.”

Em makes pointed eye contact to signify honesty, as if admission of the slip makes it a less dangerous slope.

I run away to blog. I don’t want this in my life, not any of it.  Alcohol has wrought enough havoc in my life.  I don’t want any more of it.  Not any more.  So here I am, silent screaming again.
