I do. His last drunkin night was with me. We were at work late at night finishing a huge project. He was the editor and I was his post super. We had been working hard on this. We had a bottle of vodka in the freezer waiting for us. When we were done we opened the bottle to toast our success. We ended up finishing the bottle that night and were both smashed. We both had a drinking problem. Neither of us could stop at just one drink. One drink leads to another and then another until we're drunk. If you can't get drunk, what's the point of drinking, right? Anyway, the next day he went to an AA meeting. He thought it was BS in the beginning, but then something kicked in. He hasn't had a drink since then. I am jealous of him. I still have a problem and am a functional alchoholic (at least in my mind I'm functional) He, on the otherhand has taken control of his problem. Go to a meeting, that needs to be your first step. Forget about everything else and just go. Like I said, one step at a time.
