I think it's facing your demons. Not everyone can conquer them, but they can choose not to engage them.

I drink everything at the same rate (same speed) as if it were iced tea. So I have to be sensible about what I drink.

That’s true. I ran from mine for years. Once you get fed up and decide to look them in the eye, you can at least start to heal.

Same with me about the pace.

High IQ, love reading. I was reading on a college level in 5th grade. I’m a nerd in the body of an attractive man. Got lucky on paper. Unfortunately, everything that could go wrong did go wrong. Some of it my fault, most of it not.

I'm a nerd in the body of a burned out fiend, with the morality of a coyote, and a general nature that can only be described as 'drunkulectually bankrupt'

I really want it to get better for you. I trust that it will, actually.

One more attempt to go to bed. I will never understand why this song didn't take off.

--we last saw Emmylou at Biltmore with Mary Chapin Carpenter. Quite an evening.

Demons for me turned out being rationalizations for bad decisions and deplorable behavior. I was not raised in a perfect household by any means. But my environment did not necessarily justify the level of depravity I embarked upon. It all boils down to decisions. I made a bunch of bad ones. When I got tired of the consequences, I made better decisions.

Everyone has a limit. Although I’ve seen a couple friends go too soon on bad decisions. They never got another chance. Or maybe they did and I just didn’t know.

I was blessed with what I call reckless paranoia. I could be 2 days into a binge and make all the right moves to stay outa trouble. I would always drive because my friends knew I would control the chaos. My saving grace I guess.

That’s called luck. I thought I was like that for years until I made some mistakes I couldn’t take back.

I was the same way.

Like some twisted muscle memory would kick in.
