I'm not a raging alcoholic though. I'm real about that.
I drink because I find drinking to be fun. I moved to Dallas and hardly drank at all. I had no friends and no reason to drink.
Drinking is purely social with me. You can believe what you want. I don't really care if people on this board consider me a drunk rapist. Whatever. Think what you want.
If I had ANY REASON IN THE WOLRD to stop drinking I would stop and never miss it. Ever. Alcoholism isn't in my family. It's purely a genetic disease.
My infatuation with alcohol is the social lubricant aspect. When I'm at the right level of drunk I'm outstanding. I'm a witty drunk. The problem is I don't have an off switch.
I'm sober, sober, sober, sober, sober...DRUNK. Like that. There is no in between.
It is what it is. I'm real about it. I'm amazingly content with my life right now.
NewChief is right...if I'm still doing this at 35...I'm probably going to be amazingly depressed.
