I don't even like the idea of moderation when it comes to mind alternating things. For me..food, yes, work and play, yes, drinking...no. That's not me. I was made for whatever reason that I like going numb on most occasions when I start drinking alcohol. 98% of the time. The other 2% was just a fluke that had more to do with it was just the rare occassion I didnt have the energy to go the distance on that particular day.
Just the way I was made just like I was made to be tall. I'm not going to waste any energy worrying about controlling or trying to change something I can't that doesnt do me any good anyway. It is what it is. I can try to fool myself into believing different but it won't change the outcome. I will still get drunk and I will still be tall.
I like being tall. I also like not being a drunk. I'm just fine with that.
