Hey Smitty, Bumble the biggest breakthrough of my life came when I realised that
Alcohol IS NOT fun
I think a good number of people drink cause they think alcohol spices things up: IT DOESN'T. If you are bored in a club... it is probably because you are surrounded by people you cannot have a nice conversation with. You are not bored cause you have not drunk yet!
That was my number #1 revelation, 2012. I almost consider it my personal Nobel Prize Discovery of the year. I don't know if it can help you too brothers.
Second biggest 2012 revelation: I cannot drink another drink for the rest of my life. Cause Alcohol Addiction cannot be controlled. This is my second personal Nobel Prize revelation and that is: I have ONLY 2 choices:
1) I stay addicted
2) I will never touch alcohol again in my existence
THERE IS NO OPTION 3, such as: "let me have a glass of wine with friends during a BBQ or once in a while"
1 glass of wine, one shot of Vodka, one drop of Sambuca (even with 70% water), any form of alcohol in ANY quantity = INSTANT ADDICTION
;-)
