Being Buried: An Essay Exploring the Darker Origins of the Author's Love/Hate Relationship with Alcohol

Of this essay, author David Bain says: "I wrote this essay several years ago. I wrote it almost exclusively for myself; I never sought, until now, to have it published. While I can’t say I never take a drink anymore, my relationship to alcohol has changed a great deal, thanks mostly to my family and a great deal of self-analysis - of which this essay was a big part. I’m making it available now in hopes it will help others on their paths toward self-discovery - and recovery."

David Bain is the author of GRAY LAKE: A NOVEL OF CRIME AND SUPERNATURAL HORROR and DEATH SIGHT, the first novel in his Will Castleton series, as well as several short story collections. He teaches writing at a community college in Indiana.
