Apparently not awesome enough, eh?

I'm not busting balls but I am calling your false ego out!

Big deal, you ONNNLY draink 5. If that's ok, why do you feel bad about it? Could it be that your experience is that you've been able to moderate, at times, for a while. Then, over time, you're right back at it again at the same high levels of the past? That's mine. If drinking WAS your/my/our problem, stopping would solve our problems. IF you're able to stop, then stop. If you're not able to stop, then keep drinking or find some power that you don't have (yet) to help you.

- If you really WANT to get and stay sober, maybe it's time to switch things up - start doing something differently / something that you haven't done before.
