Reminds me of my own father who is a strong, capable, talented person normally, but when he's drunk at any capacity he turns into a complete insufferable mess, making a fool of himself. It's scary to see just how much it can destroy a decent person from within. After seeing that for years since my childhood, I slowly began to hate. It also helps that my mother has an absolute disdain for drunkards and the alcohol itself. It doesn't mean we completely abstain however, rarely consuming it during birthdays and such, but we can still control ourselves. It's a very dangerous, perilous path one can easily take, and once you start drinking your problems away you're pretty much done. Don't ever start.

Good on ya, man.
This recent post election bs has motivated me to unquit, but I never got quite that out of hand. Still, all that wholesome stuff sounds like excellent advice that we all should follow, regardless.

I'm glad to see someone giving the "stop drinking" journey speech who isn't a self righteous fart huffer.
This was a good read man. Congrats on the sobriety.

SIR. You are a hero. You did not just fight for America, you fought for the whole of western civilization.
Great to see you as one of us.
