"You think to yourself, â€œIf one drink feels really good and two feels really, really good, a hundred ought to feel fantastic.â€ As sane people know, it doesn't work that way. A hundred drinks feels terrible. Bad things happen. But the addict keeps at it, thinking at some point it's going to get good again The point is to not feel what you're feeling. The problem is, you become someone you never thought you would become, and you have no idea how you got there."
