Drinking my pay checks away, sucks. Ending up in the hospital due to drinking, sucks. Going to the penitentiary, sucks. Crippling someone else or myself, or killing someone because of the drink, sucks.
Living a happy and sober life, free of alcohol is not that bad. The brain is just making excuses for you to drink, which is normal. The brain wants you to drink, its the alcoholic mind.
