She was a reason to quit Drinking
She was from Corporate.
Good looking, my age. And she made me want to live my life better so that I could find someone like her. To quit drinking and start going back to the gym.
To feel good about myself.
That morning I was leaving for a job down in Florida. A temporary two week assignment which came at the right time. Get me out of this cold New England winter and into some sun.
And for almost three days not a single drink. I wasn't even thinking about it I was so busy. Then it was down time, a free night with no work while staying in my bosses winter home.
Nothing to do, cable tv and a ribeye steak.
Whats a couple of cocktails?
And a couple more, pretty soon I'm hung over trying to keep my food down. Trying to keep it together through check in at the airport.
Pretty soon I was back into the same old routine. And the girl from Corporate doesn't come by, which is too bad because I sure could use some motivation.
