Comments on: Don’t Waste Your Time Getting Wasted http://www.collegecandy.com/body/8670 Fri, 21 Nov 2008 02:01:44 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.1 By: LeLe http://www.collegecandy.com/body/8670#comment-75167 LeLe Mon, 23 Jun 2008 07:59:58 +0000 http://www.collegecandy.com/body/8670#comment-75167 I totally agree, have gone through this in college, and really, what is the point to drinking when you aren't going to remember a majority of what happend anyway? I've told some friends that I want to give up drinking, at least for awhile, because nothing positive has really ever come out of it. People that I know have died because of decisions made while under the influence, and it really got me thinking, I'm better than this; I don't need alcohol to satisfy my inner rebel, and I sure as heck don't need it to be social. When I mentioned this to some of my habit-drinker friends their respnse seriously amazed me. "You can still drink, just be smart about it" How can I be smart about it if I can't remember what happens the next morning, or when I repeatedly tell my guy friend that I think we should f*** and he is all for it, but really....HOW IS THAT SMART???? Even just sipping it opens up the opportunity to get wasted, and I want to say I'm past that, but really, when all your friends are doing it...it gets old. I'm going to be smart, and refrain. The funniest thing I've ever heard (in terms of me and alcohol) "You are so much more fun when you are sober, and really, you are already social, so you with alcohol its like a social person on speed. I like you better sober." Well, maybe it's not that funny, and I know this is long (hopefully it makes sense), but sometimes I feel like society is using alcohol as a crutch to make bad decisions. Just a thought. p.s. It's not like I don't like alcohol, I'm the kind of girl that can out-drink anyone, but I think there is a sense of responsibility that goes with it...and that responsibility cannot be found in a frat/raging party environment. Peace, love, and pledging to be sober for a year.

In the morning when I woke up I was few feet away from the Interstate road. On that day I got a feeling as if god spoke to me saying "Son!! I took care of you this time....Next time its on you.." That's a life changing moment for me...I said to myself..I am not drinking some thing which will take control of me(I dont like that feeling any more)...Never revisited that decision..and I sober for 2 1/2 years..
