I've always found a reason WHY I drank, that it was because of this bad/good thing or because of him/her - whatever. I've missed the point that things that affect me don't make me drink,
I do that. That is my response to things because it's the easy way out.
I decided to pick up the drink because it was easier. I don't want or need to do that any more. All that is now is learned behaviour that I can
unlearn or learn something new to replace it.
