I was talking to an old friend from University. A partner in crime so to say. We drank and did plenty of drugs in our 20's. He was shocked how bad my drinking got into my 30's and 40's now. It's strange to me how he just basically stopped and just has the odd beer and I went worse and worse with my consumption. We were pretty bad with alcohol and cocaine back then. He was just able to stop cold Turkey with no problem. I never could! Everyone is different with addiction!
