"Although my doctor told me not to take alcohol, I have no choice because all the things which made me happy are no longer there. So the bottle has become my companion. I had a wife, a very beautiful one but she left me for the church. It's a bit complicated because she used to be just like me, in fact we met at a certain local pub and immediately knew we were meant for each other. Honestly, I liked her more when she was drinking, she was a very smart alcoholic. she could do all sorts of crazy stuff like singing for me uncontrollably when I least expected it. But once she got sober, all of that went away. She became a devoted christian and was now singing for the church. It was like her new pub now. I couldn't help it seeing her tending towards the opposite side of me everyday. I tried to participate so that I don't lose her, I even walked with her upto the Uganda Matyrs Shrine in Namugongo for pilgrimage. Everyone seemed so inspired along the way and she too was so happy about it. We'd stop for a break and everyone could start praying- but I'd feel nothing however much I wanted to feel it. That's when I knew that our connection had been frayed. We were just getting distant everyday." #humansofuganda
