He probably meant no harm but that's the kind of thinking that kept me drinking for at least ten years after I first realized I should stop. It seemed like sobriety would be a daily sacrifice I'd have to make for the rest of my life, a horrible burden like insulin injections or dialysis. Obviously I was a moron! Because not only is it not like that it's just the opposite; sobriety is the freedom of having to fix every day. Drinking was that burdensome, inconvenient thing I had to do every day.
Besides, insulin injections and dialysis are things that improve/save your life, not destroy it like drinking did.
