Like you hate yourself too much to be alone with your thoughts. Better. What else you got? You think you're a fun drunk, but you're a sad alcoholic. Yes. We hate being around you when you drink, which is all the time. Yes. I'm always drinking. What else? Keep going.

But we never do because we despise you. More. Why would you think we like you when your kids don't even like you? [camera snapping] They haven't spoken to you in years. They don't even call you on your birthday. Oh my God. I went too far. I'm so sorry. My therapist was right.
