Pour me a life

This blog is a safe space for me to write about my life in the hope that it will help me to empty the noise from my mind, and in the process clarify my thoughts, support my sobriety journey and shape my way path forward. It is called Pour me a Life after the autobiography by the journalist A.A. Gill, which is a book about recovery, exploring the topic obliquely. In the introduction Gill states he has no advice to offer the alcoholic who is still struggling with his demons. If I had met Gill, I expect we would have clashed, he lived a very different life to me and I think we had different values, but it never happened and he is now dead -- so we will never know. This blog is anonymous. I need that freedom.
