Shot after shot, the burning liquid crawls down my throat. Everything is just a haze now. I don't know whether I'm drinking to forget, or drinking to remember...

My hands are shakey as I grab the shot glass and perch it on my lips, moments before pouring the concoction into my mouth. This has become more a routine than a habit.

I'm up to my sixth shot, and this is the part where you're supposed to prop yourself hastily on the stool beside me and grab my wrist, stopping me from drowning away my pain-but you're no where in sight.

Oh, that's right...
You left didn't you?

Guess I'll be doing more than six shots tonight....
