He says he wants another option, a different plan, and that sobriety has brought him nothing but problems. He says when he was drinking he had less […]
I’m not tired of being sober. I am just tired. I was talking to Lisa last night over some sort of fried green tomato with indefinable bits of deliciousness on top at Medure, and I said to her, “When I was drinking I used to have more frenetic energy – sweeping the front porch at […]
