Why drink? What does it give me that I cannot get living sober? A night out drinking with friends may be fun. But I sacrifice great things for this one night of “good times”. I sacrifice control of myself. I am a bipolar drunk. And I lose control over my actions either making a fool of myself, getting violent, making bad mistakes. I can still have fun out with friends without alcohol in my blood stream and I will feel better about it the next day. No hangover and no guilt. Guilt is all I feel when I drink. Not drinking is a challenge. I must find other ways. Instead of a beer a non-alcoholic beer. Instead of a daiquiri, a virgin daiquiri. And all this after just turning 21. But I know my problem. Once I drink I feel miserable till I drink more. Whether or not I give in I still feel miserable. Thanks to my drinking habits of last year I can drink comfortably no longer. But I should not feel loss. I should feel fine without it. No change.
