Aside from still being sick, today was incredible. I woke up to two lengthy e-mails from two great friends, and read them slowly over a nice breakfast.
While at work I began to crave a hot toddy (I shiver every time I write/say that word) as I think it would help soothe my throat, but as of 5PM today, all of the liquor stores throughout Bangalore are closed until Sunday evening, meaning even alcohol for therapy’s sake is off limits.
Knowing that alcohol is so inaccessible makes me only want it more! Is that alcoholism? Nah, I doubt it. I think I’m okay when it comes to addiction, but I only think this because there’s an open pack of cigarettes sitting in front of me that I haven’t touched since I fell ill on Monday.
Please standby as I follow up this thought with a long overdue entry about my recent four-day drinking binge in Pondicherry.
