Behind the Eight Ball

The fact that my sobriety has been maintained continuously for thirteen and a half years doesn't allow me to think that I am necessarily any further away from my next drink than any of you people. I'm still very human, and I still think a double Scotch would taste awfully good. If it wouldn't produce disastrous results, I might try it. I don't know. I have no reason to think that it would taste any different--but I have no legitimate reason to believe that the results would be any different either. They were always the same. I always wound up back of the dear old eight ball.
