Friday night at walgreens
I stopped in at Walgreens to buy some ice cream after dinner tonight. I get up to the counter to check out and I ask the clerk how was her evening going and was she busy. She said, God yes, nothing but alcohol sales. After I laughed for a moment I just blurted out, glad I'm not drinking. I finely gave it up. She said good for you, enjoy you're ice cream!
It was just a quick simple conversation folks but the freedom that came with that is unbelievable. I was one of the army of people on a Friday night buying booze somewhere. That's how I started my weekend. It was sickening. I had absolutely no control over my own life. Alcohol was king. I was just a puppet. Going through life thinking this was the only way to live.
Not anymore, no way. Give me my safe, boring, sober ice cream any day of the week. Beats the hell out of the army at Walgreens!!
