I need to stop drinking, I know, but it was a fun night and I was really stressed. I hardly have fun anymore so I thought I deserved some fun. Now I have been sick for days. My doctor is...

    Hey everyone -
    It's been a while since I posted, and I apologize for that. I have tried so hard to make the time, and then just as I'm gearing up to write, I get pulled away.  Work at DS has been absolutely crazy in the last few months, and I don't have a second from the minute I wake up until midnight to even talk to the folks that make DS such a special place.
    Anyway, here's...

  • I need help for the millionth time :-(

    Tuesday, January 13, 2009 | A Call For Help story

I have some really important reasons that I NEED a drink.
