Don't get me wrong, now that I think about it, there were plenty of warning signs along the way, but at the time my brain was so dulled with alcohol to be aware of my "spider senses" all the time. For instance, I used to go to one of my favorite bars and drink. It was that type of place where there was a pool table and a few televisions with a selection of sports events showing. At first, I didn't notice it, but after a many visits , I realized it was the same people, "the regulars". I am not judging, but for the experience they seem all one dimensional. Granted, I didn't know them away from the bar, but it seemed that there was no real ambition in their conversations. You had the one guy with all the advice, the old woman trying to re-experience
