Back in the day when I was a boozer I walked into a liquor store for some beer and told the girl at the counter that I didn’t want to drink. She said you are the third person who said that this morning then added you could start a sober group. I said maybe I could put a sign on the counter that reads: If you don’t want to drink call this number and the girl said it would be a good idea and she said I could. I never printed a sign to place on the counter but I never forgot the idea.
It is true that we drink because there is nothing else to replace it
Scenarios like these are carved in stone as it must be I haven’t forgot it in fifty years.
Why didn’t I forget this?
see ya’ next time
