I had been sober for four months until Saturday night. My neighbor was having her birthday party and ivited me over for some food and drinks. I can't get into trouble just drinking wine, can I?
Two glasses turned into two bottles, and a handful of tequila jello shots.
The last two days, I have been riddled with guilt and embarressment. I got drunk enough to get kicked out of the party because I was knocking things over, I lied about how much and what I drank to my girlfriend, and I had a hangover from hell to boot.
I thought I could handle my alcohol, I thought I could handle just a glass or two. Maybe I'll be able to, but probably not. I am an alcoholic. Just like my mother. Just like I have been since high school. That doesn't mean I have to stay down. With the love and support of my family, I can make it through this. I'm going to get back on the horse and stay on it this time. Not for my girlfriend this time. But for me.

If you feel you have a problem, that is the first step. Take action and meet it head on with gumption. Don't let anybody talk you into drinking, just one or two! And if they insist, they are no friends.
Live life to the fullest. Remember, things are not always as they seem, and you can be tricked, lied to, and connived into doing what they want you to do. Keep a good attitude and be strong!
