Well, I've been going roughly 3 months without a day of sobriety. Honestly though, what else am I supposed to do now that I'm 21? I've been waiting a long time for the day I could legally purchase alcohol, and now that it has come and gone, there doesn't seem to be any sign that it will cease.
I can't quite say what the allure of drugs and alcohol are. It's not so much an addiction as much as a lifestyle. At some point, the activity becomes familliar and it becomes difficult to function without it. I enjoy the occasional cigarette, but I could never chain smoke. I feel like smoking sometimes, and other times I can't stand it.
I'm not sure at what point one bcomes an alcoholic. I would assume it's the point at which alcohol becomes a substitution for dealing with problems in your life. It feels like not taking a drink when I know I want it is the same as admitting i have a drinking problem.
Living in a dorm where nightly drinking is common is a big problem. Saying no thankyou to my peers is more difficult than saying yes. Maybe tomorrow I'll say no. Maybe I'll bury myself in schoolwork until Friday. Maybe I'll grow up and make decisions for myself.
More than likely, I'll drink up and forget my problems. I'm sure it could be a lot worse, but it could be a lot better too. Someday I'll figure it all out. Until then, I'll be a continuing source of entertainment for those around me. Cheers.
