Night time me was an asshole
I needed that glass of wine to unwind after my hard day. The irony is that it was a tough day because of all of the wine that I had the night before. I was stuck on this hamster wheel.
I wanted a "Beam Me Up, Scotty" option. If someone had offered me a pill, or a mantra, or told me that jumping up and down on one leg would help, I would have tried it. Ok, I did try some of these things.
I just wanted to be there. To be in a place where night time me wasn't an a$$hole.
Alcohol is not the duct tape
Alcohol does not make us more connected, it actually disconnects us when it is playing the central role. When it is not the focus, then your attention can be on your friends and you will remember what they said the next day. That is how we connect. That is more meaningful than commiserating over the shared hangover.
