Wouldn't Say That I Was An Alcoholic..

When mum died, just over 8 years ago, I did hit the bottle hard. Very hard. For, like, a couple of months. Ironically, mum died after a heart attack due to her ongoing drink and drugs lifestyle...so what did I do? Yep! Exactly!

Same drink of choice too - vodka and orange - but I got over that, thankfully.

I drink, of course, but not really to excess. Every couple of months or so I might go a little overboard for a night - binge drink - but that's about it.

Besides, I'm getting older! I can't handle the hangovers like I did when I was a teen...

@arthurca Thanks Art!

It just helped me get through that horrible time.

There's a fitness saying by Shaun T - 'You've got to go down to go up..' and that's the same for life too, not just jumping!
