oh gawd. todays, I am the Grandma. And the Grumpy is the Grandpa. But yeah, I'm okay with being married to an older man. He is still the cutest blue-eyed silverback doll I've ever seen.

The exact length of a bender is hard to define, it's more a spirit and feel thing. Granted 4 days is a minimum, but did it feel like a no holds barred, caution to the wind drinking session? Was another drink more important than food? Did you wake each morning (afternoon/evening, delete as needed) with no goal other than another drink? Were such things as clean clothes luxuries rather than assumptions?

If these answers are yes, it was probably a bender.

When I was playing music on the road (2 months+) and we had a bus, I would be drunk the entire time...adjusting my buzz to be reasonably s*ober for the 1 1/2 - 2hrs we were onstage. Days off were epic debauchery...with, sadly, few memories.

There was a time when the coziest bed was underneath my desk. Nowadays I drag my carcass to bed, or wake up in my chair. It's called progress, I think.

man today is going to be really bad. Its been about 12 hours since i polished of the last of the vodka. I'm going to be very cold sweaty shaky, and a little depressed with anxiety to top it off. also no sleep can;t even eat. maybe i'll drink a bunch of milk. i think being broke is causing kindling.

The whole fucking disgrace of it all is..... you have to take a weeks vacation just to get a really good jag going. Ya know unless you plan on quitting. Then just go out in style, ripped to the tits everyday till they show you the door.
