(It&rsquo;s been so long that I can&rsquo;t remember the exact year.)</p> <p>I was working in a warehouse back then &mdash; a pretty standard Monday-to-Friday, nine-to-five job. Since I was always so busy during the week, I thought the weekend would be the perfect time to quit drinking.</p> <p>I left work one Friday and &mdash; against all odds &mdash; didn&rsquo;t stop at the liquor store on the way home.
