I believe the drinking

did kind of isolate me at times

because I didn't want to let

people know.

I knew that people knew

that I was drinking a lot

and they would try to say,

you know, just drop a little,

little hints that, hey,

think you're going a little,

little too much tonight.

You're going a little too fast.

Just slow down. Pace yourself.

You know, we're going to be out

for six, seven, eight hours.

Take your time.

Relax.

You know, and then I, you know,

I would just-

All right.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.

And, you know,

even when I wanted to,

when people wanted to go out

and they'd be like, all right,

you don't have to go crazy here

at lunch or dinner. You know,

I'd have 1 or 2 with them,

and then I'd be driving home

and I'd have to stop somewhere

and get a 6 pack or a 12 pack

just to be able to finish

my cravings for the night.
