I mean, don't get me wrong, I have always been a social drinker. I enjoy a cocktail after a long hard day, a complex wine to accompany a good meal, or a beer during/after a round of golf. I've taken it too far though. It's not like I turn into a raging asshole like some guys do while drinking, and it's not as though I do too many things that show how idiotic I can be.... but here it is: Twice in the past week, I've driven after having some drinks. Here's the kicker: I think that in both circumstances I was legal while driving, but I've always been a zero tolerance guy. I can't be one of those guys, I don't want any trouble with the law, and damned if I want something terrible like being the cause of an accident on my conscience... This is what scared me into re-evaluating my situation.
I think it may be an offshoot of moving to the suburbs, but I'm not at all happy with it... So, I think I'm going to spend some time on the wagon - more focus on fitness and building a fulfilling life, without the encumberment of problems with the law.
I've got another post coming, but I don't want to mix messages, so I thought I'd post this separately.
