Alcoholics Anonymous

I took my first sip of hard liquor at the age of 12. I had some friends spending the night at my parent's house, and they dared me to take a swig of the rum that my mom stored in the liquor cabinet. Curious as any youth, I obliged and I liked it. A lot. Through my middle and high school days, I drank and did the partying nonsense much too frequently. Luckily, I started to get my head on straight during my senior year... I actually cared about getting good grades and started really thinking about my future. I stil drank alcohol sporadically, but it was not every weekend like it had been for years.

I took my last drink of alcohol a week after my 22nd birthday more than 3 years ago. I don't plan on ever drinking (or smoking for that matter) again. I'm a bit of a mean drunk, so it is good I stopped. Furthermore, Alcoholism is a disease in my family and I will do everything I can to avoid it. I am much more health conscious these days, and I exercise frequently and eat right (mostly, Wendy's will always be my weakness).

Jam it back in, in the dark.
