words by Emma Faesi Hudelson / emmahudelson.com First, I had to get sober. I thought I wanted to be vegan; but how could I make a commitment that big when I couldn’t stay sober for more than a day? I drank the way a hummingbird sucks nectar from a redstemmed feeder. Long pulls, then back for more in five minutes. I drank like I needed it to breathe. Like my heart might stop beating without booze.
