It has been over 6 years since I first enjoyed the intoxicating flavor of alcohol, and now that time must come to an end. This weekend I let alcohol get the best of me again, the only thing that was different this time, I remember it all. I normally would just not remember when I got really drunk and it was easy for me to pass off whatever I did as just drunken fun. I can't do that anymore. In all honesty, I don't know how anyone stays my friend after a night of heavy drinking by me. I am obnoxious and rude and I don't want to be that way anymore.
So, starting yesterday, I have stopped drinking alcohol. I can only imagine this will also improve my health as I would commonly have a beer or three about 3 nights a week. I know that there are going to be tough times, such as going to Joe's, enjoying a hot summer evening and a Guinness during the winter months, but this is for the best. If I can't control myself while drinking, I shouldn't be doing it. I am sorry to everyone I offended or trapped in discussion when I was drunk, you don't need to worry about it anymore.
