In the midst of a drunken stupor, I would come to my senses and realize what an idiot I was to try to fool myself like this.

And each time I sought pleasure in drink, I emerged more depressed than ever. — Soseki Natsume

Please help us not to let You down but to honor You in all we do. Amen — Steve Ham
