First, there’s a moment when you are just crossing the threshold from complete oblivion, wrapped in blankets and darkness, to reemerge into the light of the living. You are not a person yet. You have no recollections or anxieties. This is probably what it was like right before you were born.

You don’t realize you have a hole in your memory until you’re halfway to the bathroom. How did you get home last night? Where’s your car? Why is the floor slanting away from you?

You stare at yourself in the mirror and promise you’re never going to drink again.
