The usual alcoholics are at it again tonight

Keep hearing them drive by speeding, honking etc on the way to the neighbors. A year ago that was my calling. It was hard to resist at first, now all I can think about is the temporary death that would be all day tomorrow. No thanks. I still talk to them, i've even hung around them some which I know is a no, no but it doesn't happen very often. I have pretty good self-control on things i'm interested in.

The longer I stay sober the more ridiculous things are. For instance, one of them went down to the farm with me the other day. I took him over to show him something in a barn. We had to walk maybe 200' i'd say. He was gasping for air by the time we got there. Then had to light up a cigarette and proceed to tell me how not only did he have a bad ulcer but also needed a hernia surgery. Guys only 47. So when we got home he took a nap. Then went to the bar. And has been drinking everyday since. It's insane.

It's eye opening when we step out of the life we used to lead and see it for what it is. I don't miss it.
