After an auto accident while I was drunk, I was done with booze…until two weeks later - because it was the Super-bowl. Then the unintentional drunken behavior at corporate…I had to stop…that was it until I was transferred where no one knew me - a fresh start… soon I started waking up in strange houses without my clothes…
Obsession - the influence of a persistent feeling, idea or the like which the person cannot escape.
The idea that somehow, someday he will control and enjoy his drinking is the great obsession of every abnormal drinker. The persistence of this illusion is astonishing. Many pursue it into the gates of insanity or death.
