Leo McGarry Quote

I’m rewatching The West Wing The following is a quote from the fictional White House Chief of Staff about alcoholism. I totally gets where he is coming from. I guess thats why I can’t go back. Sobriety is the best choice for me.

" I don’t understand people who have one drink. I don’t understand people who leave half a glass of wine on the table. I don’t understand people who say they’ve had enough. How can you have enough of feeling like this? How can you not want to feel like this longer? My brain works differently."

Best choice for me too. Reading things like that drives it home that my relationship with alcohol was not at all normal. My husband can come in from work. Drink one beer. Done. I always wanted more.
