It was like walking on a treadmill, round and round. Melbourne FL 32901 It was my second bar of the evening. I had stopped off earlier on my way home from work -- not to get drunk, just to Office Hours; M-F, 9-4:30 have one beer. But then, once I'd ordered I thought, what's the point of having just one beer, so I ordered up a shot to go 321-724-2247 or 633-0052 along with it. That started the ball rolling, and before too long I was slurring my words, ogling any woman who walked in, and fax: 321-724-8574 already planning my next move. So, off I went to my local bar, the bar around the corner from my house, the bar with the pool email: table. [email protected] website: But, lo and behold, by the time 7:00 rolled around I was already out of money and working my way into a blackout www.aaspacecoast.org once again. There was a saving grace, however. There was money at home. Money earmarked for the rent and the electricity bill, but money now with which I could continue to drink. As I sat there in the bar, the world starting to spin around For Online AA Meetings me once again, everything suddenly became clear. My path was set. I was going to leave that bar, go around the corner to aa-intergroup.org my house, get the money I was saving to pay the bills, and come back out and drink. I knew for a certainty that this was true. This is what was going to happen. Along with that thought came another thought, a darker, more sinister thought, a thought loaded with fear and despair. I was probably going to die that night -- it wasn't quite clear just how, perhaps stepping in front 2017 BREVARD of a bus on the street drunk, or being in the wrong place at the wrong time and taking a slug in the head, or maybe getting into INTERGROUP BOARD my car and driving it into a wall. But the darkness was just as sure as the fact that I was going to leave that bar, go around Chairperson Too Tall Mike the corner, get the money, and come back out. And in that moment -- it was just a single moment sitting at a bar in the heart [email protected] of Manhattan, staring at the bottles along the back of the bar, lost in the wavering images in the mirror -- I accepted my fate Vice Chair Nicole D. entirely, admitted my powerlessness, and left that bar to get the money so I could continue to drink.

In that one moment, I was on the threshold of a new and wonderful world. The bartender gave a little wave as I Secretary Tamarah B. [email protected] staggered off. She figured she'd see me again. On the corner of the block where I live, just as I was about to turn down my street, I ran into an old acquaintance I Treasurer Tim A. [email protected] hadn't seen for some time. It was someone I used to drink with, someone with whom I'd shared a harrowing incident a couple of years before when I saw a lady fall out of a building and land on the concrete in front of me. She was dead on impact and I Phone Army Chris F. [email protected] stood there in the street, half drunk, half dazed until the police and the fire department, the ambulance, and the press had all come and gone. I found myself in my local bar that night -- the bar with the pool table -- drinking the image out of my mind, Social Events Pamela LN. [email protected] talking to anyone who would talk to me, telling them my tale of woe. This acquaintance was one of those -- it turned out he had seen the same thing that day, had been one of the onlookers drawn to the scene.
