More power to you, but...

If you're one of those folks who likes to drink, and it doesn't fuck up your (or anyone else's) life in any way... more power to you. In the same way that I'm hugely in favor of legalization of marijuana in spite of the fact that I don't use it at all, I really believe that people should pretty much be able to do what they want, if it doesn't hurt others.

Me, though... I'm not that good at the drinking.

Two years ago today, I quit. And while it's not the kind of thing for which I'm going to throw myself a party... I'm pretty freakin' happy that I did. So: yay, me.

Love to all. Even you, the woman who thought "I'm am NOT going to drink today. And did, anyway."

Drinking was all well and good when I was a free and childless you-un but we have to have priorities. I don't drink unless my son is not with me and then it is sooo few and far between I would say I don't drink. If I do go and make a cocktail most of the time it is tasteing so wierd since I am so not used to it I end up throwing it out after a sip or two. So I don't think you need to have a party just think of all the ickys you have missed like hangovers and that junk :-)
