No... I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable, if you are. It's a mess I got myself into when I was trying to self-medicate for other issues, and it's had a lot of power over me, but part of recovering is shaking that control off. The world has bad things and vices in it, and I can't live a full life and expect to avoid them. The problem isn't the alcohol, or the heroin or cocaine or whatever, it's me. Fixing it starts from the inside-out, as cliche as that sounds. And I'm working really hard on that.

Does it smell good?
