'Confessions of an alcoholic' - Page 23:
It was now up to him to search through his database of drinking history to find out how he came to be in the position he now found himself to be in. He didn’t want to seek help and knew what the problem was; alcohol had total control over him and for him to take total control over alcohol, he had to give it away completely and have nothing more to do with it ever again.
Chapter 2
Bundy was about to board his train of life returning him to where it first started as a child of twelve years at his parent’s house. The year was 1960. It was going to be a long journey.
Quicksilver’s family Christmas was a gathering of relatives from all over the countryside. There were grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and others who claimed to be relatives. Once a year, the family gave away their differences to gather, to celebrate Christmas together.
With each Christmas gathering, came plenty of beer. In those days large beer bottles were used, stubbies hadn’t been invented. Also, on the beer menu was a five-gallon wooden keg. Steel kegs had not been invented as well. A five-gallon keg always started the celebrations, not knowing how many more kegs would be consumed over the Christmas festival season.
Normally, no fewer than thirty relatives arrived for Christmas. It was a very exciting time listening to all of the stories from relatives living far away, visitors from far out west, some from the city, others nearby. Nothing was orderly; Bundy’s mother and grandmother cooked most of the meals making certain Christmas Dinner was the main event of the festive season.
