Life Happens
I’m lying here awake at 3am just thinking, and it occurred to me all the daily aggravations I go through. They could be big or small. Any one of them I’ve used as an excuse to drink. Things like:
- the cashier giving me attitude because they’re having a bad day
- check engine light cones on
- get a flat tire
- family member/friend does you wrong
- boss is hard on you
- apply for new apartment and get denied
- get cut off in traffic
- get speeding ticket
- lose job
- family member/friend gets sick
- girlfriend cheats on you
- get in argument with wife/girlfriend
- kids won’t stop screaming/crying
These are just a few of a million different things that could go wrong on any day.
Of course, bad things don’t need to happen in order to drink. Other reasons:
-excuse to have fun
- to party
- to socialize/be social
- to celebrate
- going on vacation
- getting off work
- it’s the weekend
- Monday night football is on
- going out of town on a business trip
Then there are those of us who eventually drank just to drink - morning, afternoon, and night. Boredom basically.
Anyway, just posting late night thoughts. The trick is not to drink over any of these things.
