Look - Mr. Leyritz and anyone else out there who might need it - it gets better.
My alcoholism took me to some pretty fucked up places (none, thank god, ever close to this... but that was just dumb luck)... but it gets better, you get through it. Just keep your head down and realize you have this thing to do and that it's a burden and isn't easy. It sucks (it REALLY fucking sucks most days). But just keep going and in month or six months you will realize it's gotten a little bit better. And then in another month or two months you'll up in the middle of washing dishes (to me it first happened when I was watching an AFLAC commercial, of all things), and suddenly you will be overwhelmed at simply being alive. And you will start to cry because everything around you will seem like a fucking miracle. Suddenly you will understand and you will realize that life is worth it.
Those moments are great. They don't happen much, but they happen. Just fucking keep going and soon you will live to see some pretty amazing things.
sorry for the rant.

Roberto Alomar also knows the dangers that a false positive can have on your reputation.

He must have an angel watching him. Unfortunately, that angel is Billy Martin.

Out of context. He was really talking about the 3 hour game of Monopoly they were engaged in.
