That battle has raged in my head for longer than you've been alive.
One of those voices in that argument is a liar. I'd give you two guesses to figure out which one, but you're only going to need one.
You can have a rich full life without drinking. Can you have one with drinking? Only you can answer that question for yourself.
For me - I had to choose between drinking and everything else I love in my life. As easy as that choice sounds like it ought to be, that liar living in my head and it's sweet lies about all the fun I was going to miss out on made it very difficult for me for a while.
