Moderation used to be my dream, but then I woke up to reality. Now after being sober for a considerable amount of time I can't imagine trying so hard at something, that is literally poisoning my body. On Sunday, I will be running yet another marathon. My friend who is not an alcoholic has to bow out of the marathon this year, because going out too often with friends interfered with his training.
The things that I have accomplished physically running and in the gym this year, wouldn't have been possible even if I could be a moderate drinker. I'm like 5-6% body fat and in the best shape of my life.
One day I have a dream to compete in the Iron Man (when I'm done with school), which would not be possible drinking alcohol.
Honestly, Alcohol is a waste of time.
