The "kid" was my ex husband, and he never even realized how much his dad was drinking until he grew up - no sugar coating at all, he thought and thinks his dad is great.

So, I opened a can of beer, poured two fingers of Beam over ice, and sat down to ponder this. Dulling of the senses; wow that doesn't sound very pleasent, I guess we should all stay sober and feel the impact of life, full force. I mean, lets turn on the tube and watch who's killing who, who's fucking who's wife, and just how bad the planet is getting. Shit, why don't we just have it all pumped directly into our brains. The we can all stay sober and remember every wrong that has ever been done to us, because we're sober, we'll never commit an act of revenge. Then we can all haul our sober asses down to the local church, and have our daily dose of that bullshit. After which we can head down to the soup kitchen to see how many people are worse off then us, and being sober, that image shouldn't last too fucking long.
Or, we can party, responsibly, and forget about it all for a while. Nah!!! Freckles is right, lets all stay sober, and make sure we see all the world has to offer.

Wow, Spike. What happened? I can't believe how negative you are! Aren't you the one who WANTED to live life, full force? There is a lot more beauty in this world than ugliness, as long as you aren't numb to it. Are you in the middle of numbing something? Call me and let me know you are ok - there has to be something wrong...

Not a thing wrong, Shey. Thanks for the concern. I'm living my life to the fullest, and then some. Work is good, farm is good, and we have a little sideline going taking care of some other farms. Busy, but, fulfilling. Still, have some of my most creative thoughts over a drink or two. Still like to forget about the wars, and famine and general fucked-uppedness of this world, with some good old fashioned drinking with my friends. Every once in a while, old Freck needs to be reminded that not all people who enjoy a good beer buzz, are lunatics, like his ex. Preaching is as bad as alcoholism.

You know I love you Spikers... but he has MANY a good point in his preaching, and I suspect it might strike home quite a bit to quite a few people, which makes it irritating.
I'll be honest, I think if you are using alcohol to escape, you are "doing it wrong" as they say on icanhascheeseburger. You shouldn't need to use alcohol or any other drug this way, and it HAS harmed quite a few people - yourself included - when people do. I remember a point in time when a good friend of mine went sober for awhile because he had numbed himself to the point of not really participating in life, and avoiding his problems hadn't made them go away. He was a really smart guy.
If you want to call me preachy - go ahead, you know I am not hurt by that kind of thing. But a good friend wouldn't just sit back and say behavior that can hurt someone is ok just because it is easier and more feel-good. Rather be preachy than that kind of person. I sit on the side of the fence with freckles on this one.
Shey

Well then, The Frog and I are going golfing, and I'll bring the cooler.
You know as well as anyone, I can hit the bottle hard. It's been a while since those days. I still like to numb the senses for a few hours now and then, it's good for the mind to relax. You preachy wonder you.

Freckles, not every one who is drunk ( or hung over) is filled with negativity....maybe these people are just like that anyway, with or without alcohol. Some people just always focus on the bad stuff and blame other people for things. Anyhow, I get the feeling that there is no point in trying to speak of the merits of moderate drinking to you because your mind is already made up, and you are busy making up every one else's mind too. But I gotta go.... gotta go walk down to the wine shop and get some vino for tonight.

I used to Drink 1 or 2 Wine Coolers a Year When you are Married to a Alcoholic You dont Drink at all That gives them a Excuse to Drink the Liquer Store dry (Not that they need a excuse)

I used to Drink 1 or 2 Wine Coolers a Year So, you quit drinking your one or two wine coolers a year, because your old lady was a waste case? Dude!! Tell me Freck, how much does one need to consume to be an alcoholic. Careful now, boy, I may just have some figures to blow your little mind.
