Je suis à Québec pour deux jours pour une importante négociation. L’abus d’alcool me frappe encore une fois de plein fouet. Je finalise rapidement un contrat pour une personnalité que je représente. Deux rencontres étant remises à plus tard, je termine ma journée de travail au bar d’un restaurant, avec mes notes, mon ordi et l’alcool. Il est 11 h du matin. Je travaille un peu. Je bois beaucoup jusqu’en fin de journée.

Avant de reprendre le chemin de la maison, sur la Rive-sud de Montréal, je m’arrête pour faire le plein et m’acheter quelques bières que je consommerai en route. J’en suis à ma dernière cannette lorsque ma fille de dix ans m’appelle en vidéo. Je réponds en tenant le téléphone d’une main et le volant de l’autre, ma dernière consommation entre les jambes. Je suis défoncé.

« Papa, tu as bu? Tu conduis, papa? Je ne veux pas que tu meures, arrête-toi et ne reviens que demain, je t’en supplie. » Elle pleure à chaudes larmes. Je lui mens encore une fois : « Tout va bien, je serai bientôt à la maison. »

Je ne rentrerai pas à la maison, car je m’arrête à un restaurant à quelques kilomètres de chez moi. Je me réveille à l’aurore, paniqué, assis au volant de ma voiture dont le moteur tourne toujours. Épouvantable, ce que je viens de faire subir à ma famille. J’aurais pu me tuer au volant, tuer des gens! Je suis détruit, je n’en peux plus. Je veux maintenant faire tomber le diable qui se tient sur mon épaule depuis toujours. Le 5 juillet 2018, après trente ans de consommation, j’entrerai à la Maison Jean-Lapointe pour y suivre une thérapie de vingt et un jours. Ma vie sera changée à jamais…

Wish the sides were longer
Size: King, Color: Blue Chambray
I love jersey knit sheets. They are comfortable in all temperatures. These do not disappoint particularly for the cost. Unfortunately the top king size sheet is too small, with only just barely enough drop, on the sides. Length wise they are fine.

Very Comfortable but NOT As Expected for Multiple Reasons
Size: Queen, Color: Teal
I purchased my first Briarwood Home Jersey Queen Sheets June 2018 and was very pleased with the quality and how comfortable they are. The 2nd set I recently received (Oct. 2019) is VERY inferior compared to the first set. So inferior I would consider them defective. The fitted sheet is very very small and "barely" fits on my standard queen mattress regardless of which way I turn it. This was not an issue with 1st set. I have to really pull hard in order to get it to fit over my standard queen mattress. Luckily I don't have a pillow top mattress otherwise it probably would not fit at all. Plus, it's so tight the fitted sheet does not tuck under the mattress. Very surprised since the 1st set I have had no issues. Also, the flat sheet is MUCH smaller compared to first set. only about 3" hangs over side of mattress where other flat sheet hangs almost to bottom of box spring. Minor observation; the 1st set had a Briarwood Home tag on outside of pillow cases. The 2nd set does not have that tag. I also want to add that these seem thinner than the first set since I can see mattress cover through them and pillow case cover,,, but the translucent appearance could be because the 2nd set is white and the 1st set was teal. Overall VERY disappointed. I was going to order a grey set but WILL NOT due to these issues. I did email the Briarwood Home customer service today and hope they offer a resolution. NOTE: The customer service phone number goes straight to voicemail and then states the mailbox is full. This is the 2nd time I tried calling with same results so your only option is to send an email. I find that to be suspicious. I will update when I hear back,,, or don't hear back. UPDATE 2-13-2020: NEVER RECEIVED RESPONSE FROM BRIARWOOD. I WILL NEVER ORDER SHEETS FROM BRIARWOOD AGAIN. INSTEAD, SINCE THE 2ND SET OF BRIARWOOD SHEETS BARELY FIT MY STD. QUEEN BED I ORDERED ANOTHER SET OF QUEEN JERSEY COTTON SHEETS FROM: Road Trip America Cozy, T-Shirt Soft 100% Organic Cotton Jersey Knit, GOTS-Certified, Solid Color Bed Sheet Set (White, Queen). They have not arrived but I will provide a review after I receive them.

Soft but they shrink
Size: King, Color: Blue Chambray
Super comfy and soft but the shrink easily and even with stretching dont cover the whole mattress. Still really like the sheets just wish they had deeper pockets/sides to help with shrinking.

COMFY and Great for Temperature Control
As an mature aged female, these sheets are great for being comfortable enough to feel and stay soft, while keeping body temperature regulated. I like these, compared to slick sheets.
