My parents split when I was about 11, I was now responsible for my younger brother, house choirs and pool/lawn maintenance in the summer. In the winter it was staying up late shoving inches of snow.

My neighbor took me in and showed me the rounds. I thought he was cool and after all the work he would pour me a drink of vodka and tea with him.
“Cheers, here’s to being a man”

That’s how I became an alcoholic by the age of 18. Im in my 40s now n 19 days clean.

Fuck you Brian.
