When I played community college football I felt like I was on top of the world. I had been honorable mention all conference and played well in our postseason bowl game. I had my first serious post high school girlfriend, I was getting offers to play D1 football. Life was good.
I met Amber online, where else right, and it turned out we had gone to rival high schools. We actually beat them my senior year. She had been athlete too, she swam and was a distance runner. She went to our local university while I was at community college. Well I didn’t know her that well and being away from her parents she slowly became a barely functioning alcoholic. Like waking up and downing shots of vodka for breakfast. She was probably one of the most insecure women I ever spent time with. In addition she could be a very mean drunk too. We had a very nasty breakup, and it was one of the few times I ever got onto a fistfight with somebody, not her.
