Getting up at 4 or so makes you feel groggy all day. I don't care for my job all that much, mostly because I'm tired of helping customers out. They just get on my nerves, not because they are mean, although some of them can be a pain in the ass, I think it's mainly due to them bombarding me with questions all day. I got a little too drunk yesterday, and I can tell when that happens by the double vision, lethargy, and dizziness. I've been drinking way too much lately. I'd like to cut down, after all I was able to quit smoking, and considering I don't derive too much pleasure from drinking, it shouldn't be difficult. I was watching Dr. Phil the other day, and he was talking about a questionnaire given to two types of high school students. To those that did some kind of a recreational substance to excess, the question was why do you drink and/or use substances. The majority of them responded by saying, because I don't have a reason not to. He asked the squares a question like why don't you drink and/or use substances. Many of them said, because it would interfere with my life and goals. These are high school students, but it could also apply to anyone. I wouldn't have the potential to become a hardcore alcoholic, my body would not tolerate it, and I would get sick of the liquid. I'm actually a light weight compared to some people whom I've gotten loaded with in the past. I do have a tendency to consume more than I should though. Plus, I drink alone just for the sake of killing time, and improving my mood. That is not a good reason to drink. It seems like a lot those alcoholics that go to AA meetings get hooked on coffee and cigarettes as surrogate substances. Those people are in a league of their own.
