"Chances are you will get cirhosis, you might get in a wreck and kill someone, or yourself. Who knows?
Maybe nothing will happen. You might live till 70. But in the meantime, if you don't do SOMETHING, you will just keep feeling like you do right now for the next 40 years or so...."
That really floored me..
That old guy in AA had a great message, it wasn't the dying or the liver or whatever that scared me it was the prospect of having to wake up feeling how i did another morning...brilliant!
