Outside the town is a sign. “Population: a million people that don’t drink alcohol.” I’ve ripped the thorn from the rose, stuck it on the bridge of my nose, and I'm dragging my feet in the dirt, snorting. Wave the red flag. I dare you. I double fucking dare you. That’s where I’m going, and nothing’s going to stop me. I locked the GPS coordinates in back in 2009 when I took the vow. Then she left me. I felt like the rind stuck in a world of sweet marmalade. Who would want to taste me, now? One day, as the man beside me, went searching for the smell under his fingernails with a knife, and the woman in stockings gyrated in front of me to the beat of the thin white duke, I asked for a Sambuca. And another. And another. A month went by. Lost. Confused. Unsure. Values and virtues scattered to the wind like dandelion seeds held in the magnificently manicured mitten of the monster. Moon. Mars. Nowhere was far enough for me. Then, my son pushed the bottle aside, reached into my heart, and switched my GPS back on. A light flickered. I heard the voice in my head tell me to turn right. Then, in the distance, I saw the sign. “Population: a million people that don’t drink alcohol.” I put my foot down, and I’ve been kicking up a fuss ever since. Once you take the vow, it’s not a question of IF you’ll become someone that doesn’t drink alcohol, it’s WHEN, and that’s what we talk about in today’s episode.
