It feels good to wake up with no hangover, doesn't it?!
Take care.  |
Yes it does.....and as an added bonus, I could get up and start my day at 7 instead of noon.
I'm still working through what I will tell people. For me, the DUI defense doesn't work because most of the people I know drink and drive. They don't think it's a big deal to have six or seven drinks and then drive 10 miles home.
As for medication, people will ask me "what's it for" so I'm not sure about that either.
I think I might just say I'm on a new road at this point in my life and it doesn't include alcohol. I never really thought about it all that much, but I find it interesting how people take it for granted. A lot of people I know just automatically drink when they go out. I'm not being critical of it, I just find it curious. I suppose a lot of this used to be me.
