I have always had a hard time grasping why I shouldnt drink. I am only 25, I have been charged with felonies, DUI, crashed my motorcycle while in the Army drunk got nerve damage in my shoulder because of it. Spend many of days in jail. I was extreamly lucky and in almost all cases I had the charges dropped. I dont have the problem of HAVING to have it everyday or I would withdrawl. I ddidnt even go through withdrawl when I stop months at a time.
What does keep me from drinking or helps me chose not to, somtimes I give in. But I ALWAYS get into trouble or a fight because of alcohol, and once I start I usually cannot stop.
