So here I am again. I don't want to be here. I really don't. I thought that after getting my life in order and my head right all would be good. I made over 100K last year and paid cash for a 30K car. I can't have that big a problem if I can do that, right? Except that at 11:00 am here I can't drive it. I'm drunk.....
