I don't look at my drinking time as a waste...it was a chapter in my life.
Had a lot of fun being a drunk. Who knows, if I didn't drink, I might have gotten hit by a bus....
It didn't get really bad until just before I quit. That is why I quit. Just couldn't hang any more.
Many will agree.
Now, I am writing new chapters and an ending. They will be sober.
So help me God.
