Time to Self-Medicate....

Well, there seems to be little point to resisting the call of the neighborhood bar. I have detox'd for nearly the entire week, given tribute to Caesar, survived this week's global subprime mortgage meltdown, driven over 500 miles trying to please Boss Hogg, and now its time to reward my white slavery with the opiate of the masses - a succession of black and tans and perhaps a pretzel.

I will allow my eyes to gaze at a few of the fairer sex but - for the thought police out there, no worries - it will be 'no touchy', so relax. Yeah, that's right, just f*cking relax. God will have to look the other way tonight. I'm not taking any sh*t from anyone in Heaven tonight. They can kiss my hypothetically-adulterous ass.

Anyway, sorry to bring you all down, but November is the beginning of many months of black nights and black moods. I just needed to say hello to my fellow vampires. See you at the bar.

I'll feel much better in just an hour or two. Someone please email me some aspirin for tomorrow. Or some morphine. Whatever.

Be careful out there babies. Mario is out there and ready to take it out on someone else. It's a way of life.

Be back later when my middle-aged liver makes me quit. Stupid liver.

I'm out.

Is it art? Or is it a 'cry for help'? Well, I'd say it's art. But I'm arrogant and very thirsty. Don't obsess, move on. You'll be better off.

ah mario, sabotaging your success through the week will be your undoing.

At the very least, have some limits on the amount you consume and the risky behaviour you are likely to engage in while under the influence.

I hope you'll forgive me, but I'll likely not read many of your posts from here on in if your goal is to use alcohol to excess to cope.

You are free to make the choice and I am free to withdraw my support.

I hope you feel better long before you get to a bar and become intoxicated.

Hey spider man, don't ruin my good time. Have a sense of humor for Zeus's sake.

And I thought I was being a heavy. Lighten up just a little - it's Friday. I'm old already. I hear Guiness reverses the aging process. I'm off to find out.

If you end up sitting next to me, remember to sneer.

Mario dearest. I would suggest two black and tans and two only...one for surviving the week and another for your gluten deprived friend here in California (how I miss the Guinness). But stop at two and here is why:

The only thing self medication accomplishes is putting off your feelings until another time. Sooner or later you shall have to cope with your black mood, so why not now? If I can manage everything I am going through right now without self medication (and believe me I want to) then you can as well.

Lots of love to you...mary

Two (2) black & tans. One Diet Coke. One Vodka and Red Bull. Another Diet Coke. A Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. A club soda with lime. A third Diet Coke. No hidden feelings. No suppressed rage. Just a good time at the pub. Yes, I made my choices, and I believe firmly that I drove home under a 0.08. Match that if you dare. :)

Oh yeah, and I ate that pretzel too. And I think I left out an ice water. All nicely spaced to accommodate a wanna-be binge drinker. Just doesn't work these days.

And a goodnight to all.

I have been thinking about doing this recently myself but I know that I can't find the answers that I need in a bottle. Mario, you are grown and can make your own decisions but you're going to have to deal with the problems sooner or later. Running only makes things worse.

Sh*t on top of sh*t...is still sh*t. Only my point of view, think about it? Be safe!

How about an artistic cry for help???

God bless you anyway Mario, we all love you.

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
