I refuse to let a liquid control my life, (just like the 2.5 packs of cigarettes i smoked everyday)..I have to put the booze at the bottom of priorities...it's very much a give/take situation for me....i.e;
I can have booze tonight.....but I can't drive, go out, or talk to people because they will know i'm a stupid drunken idiot.... what would I rather have? the booze or the freedom and company of others...
I can have booze tonight...and wake up wondering what i said and did, with a splitting headache and my mouth feeling like i was in the catbox...or wake up and feel well and enjoy coffee and breakfast, be on time for work.
if i don't simplify it I will make myself overwhelmed and anxious.
