I never told myself I was going to drink just one. I would try and stop after six, then eight, then twelve. I then tried just drinking beer. At one point I attempted to limit the number of hours I was going to drink. Two, three or maybe four. None of these strategies ever got me any where.
A few drinks became dozens. Only beer turned into shots and a couple of hours often became several days.
Sound familiar? I'm Jay Kolo and I'm an alcoholic. Always was, always will be.
