I miss it sometimes. Not getting drunk, mind you, but the activity of drinking. It was something to do. I drank by myself, of course. I am solitary by nature, that hasn't changed. That's why I like it here at MB. Not to upset anyone, but this is where I can speak to people on my own terms. No one can invade my space, unless I choose to let them.

That's why I don't own a cell phone. Where I am and what I'm doing is my business, and it offends me to think someone can just call me, where ever I might be, whether I want them to or not.

Anyway, about the drinking, I went to AA for about six months. It got to where I couldn't stand it. The same people with the same complaints, day in and day out. "Oh, I wanted to drink so bad today!". They were sober, but still worshipping alcohol, you know? I was like, when are you going to take your life back?

When I quit, I was an alcoholic first and foremost. But, there comes a point where you have to stop letting alcohol control who you are. I evolved from alcoholic, into father, husband, son, brother, coworker, and, oh yeah, I also can't drink because once I start, I can't stop.

You see what I mean? You have to be a person first eventually, or you will live your life in the most miserable way possible: an alcoholic that can't think of anything else but the fact that they can't drink.

I give you your due serious and honest ups my friend. That's a helluva thing to do, I have alot of respect for somebody like that.

No, I haven't done anything special, really. All I did was get to 'normal'. LOLOLOL.

Modesty, also admirable.

Back on topic, I just finished up my fourth Drambuie martini and I'm feelin' pretty good.

PS-Good old spell check.

Vodka is so crap, it tastes awful. Bourbon is incredibly tasty and relaxing, I don't feel I need to get drunk off it.

Yes, getting back to the thread (sorry, my mind goes off on its own at times), how in the world can anyone drink tequila? I never tasted a drop of it. The smell made me gag, literally.

Yeah man, that's what'll kill ya'! Can't smell sh*t like that or it'll set off the ol' pukin' reflex. For me that's the way with tequila or good vodka, can't smell just kill it.
