Alcoholism feels like rain

Alcoholism feels like rain. I tell people that and they look at me like I’m crazy. But it’s true: Alcoholism feels like rain. Or, like being caught out in the rain, on a cold day, with no umbrella and no jacket and worst of all nowhere to run to, to stay dry, except the inside of a bottle.

With alcohol addiction, it’s like every minute you’re not drinking is a minute you’re caught outside in a nasty storm. You hate it, can’t stand it, will do whatever it stakes to get somewhere warm. You don’t drink because you want to; you drink because you have to, because that’s the only way you’re going to keep from getting drenched.

So yes, alcoholism really does feel like rain. And anyone who says otherwise obviously doesn’t know what it means to live life under gray skies.
