Like So Many Other Recovered Alcoholics, I Am To This Day Bewildered That It Took So Long For Me To Understand That There Was No Such Animal As 'social Drinking' For Me; That It Had Nothing To Do With My Willpower Or Self-respect Or Moral Fiber, That It Was A Simple Biochemical Intolerance To A Drug.
