My work used to keep me in check too but even so I suffered through many a day nursing a hangover. After I lost my job, I pretty much went 24/7 with drinking and didn't have true hangovers, I drank right through them. I remember thinking - it would be nice to sober up so I can enjoy the feeling of getting drunk again..ahhh those first few shots into a sober body..the thrill of it all..exhilarating. Now, I remember those hell on earth hangovers whenever I feel like drinking, the ultra pain of recovering from a binge, along with a whole lot of other cons. Drinking is just not worth it. I didn't always think that way but I do now. Drinking wrecked my life and would do so again.
