I do not like drunkeness. Most people that drink, get drunk at some point in their life at least once and many get drunk often. Alcohol can be a bad addiction, it is best to stay clear of all, especially those who really have little or no control.

Back when I was a teen, my parents allowed me to drink, if I wanted to. Just as long as I didn't drive drunk. They'd rather have me home, drinking. As it turned out, I wasn't so impressed with it. I wasn't getting away with anything, why bother? Then feeling lousy the following day wasn't my thing.
Drinking, I can take or leave. |

I must stay sober. Most difficult thing about being sober? Learning how to express myself sober!
It does get easier for me though. I just write and write and write.... |

Yes journaling very healthy for your sobriety its very highly recommended, also to go out of your confort zone. People often feel awkward at first in a lot of areas in their life, its thought of by many, to be a lot of hard work but eventually its not forced anymore, it just becomes a lifestyle. Its just life and life is what happens when your busy making plans. As they say in AA fake it til ya make it. |

I take my sobriety realy serious as do others. |

People drink because they are afraid to face life sober, afraid to care what others think, afraid to be themselves, afraid of the truth. Sobriety is important to me because truth is important and freedom is paramount.
Not to mention I like being conscious. |

Sometimes when I tell someone i'm an alcoholic, the response is similar to admitting I have something like an S.T.D. Other people are cool. Admitting it does weed out the jackasses;-)
