Self Disclosure

I have a drinking problem.

Often when I drink water, I find that much of it lands on me, rather than successfully make it into my mouth. At first, I was in denial. I blamed it on the large water bottle that I was using. Clearly, the indented bottle with the wide mouth which led to inconstant water flow was responsible for me missing my mouth, sometimes completely. I switched to a non indented, but still wide-mouthed bottle. When I continued to spill all over myself I chalked it up to the fact that I was drinking while in motion, whether walking or using the elliptical at the gym. I finally switched to a small water bottle with no indents. When this too resulted in an unplanned mid day shower... I had to admit to myself that I had a problem. And I've now come to realize that the problem extends to other uses of water, not just the drinking of it. Last night while washing dishes I suddenly found that my shirt (at counter level) and socks were quite wet, as the water had managed to flow from the plate I was rinsing onto the counter and onto the floor, unbeknownst to me. Today in class, I attempted to fill my water bottle today from one of those 500ml bottles of water. All was going well until I realized a moment too late that I had misjudged the volume of my water bottle and sure enough I found myself with wet jeans, in the middle of class.

I've identified the problem...now if only I could find the right 12 step program.
