We changed brands, we switched from whiskey to beer, we changed our drinking companions, we put more time between drinks, we changed jobs, wives, localities. Somehow it never occurred to us that the only way to deal with our drinking was to abandon it to a slow death by starvation.

You can't shoot, drown or strangle alcoholism, but you can abandon it.
