I discuss the early days of my drinking.

I tell a harrowing story about a dead hard drive. Disclaimer: This entry has almost nothing to do with alcohol and/or sobriety.

I discuss some of the reasons I still want to drink and why those reasons are stupid.

I add a couple items to my vision board and probably talk a little too much about Taylor Swift.

I discuss my vision board for what I want an alcohol free life to look like. Also discussed: sleeping with cats.

I discuss the sad truth of why I volunteered to teach summer school and share an exciting epiphany.

I discuss dinner at Mike's and find a bunch of terrible excuses not to quit just yet.

I talk Murder She Wrote hangovers, beach house and lake house missed opportunities, and why it can be harder for "gray area" drinkers to decide to quit.

The very first entry in my oral journal, in which I discuss a graduation party, a stupid night of Tetris, and other reasons I need to get sober.
