"No more saying no to friends to stay home and drink. No more drinking the right amount to sleep but not more than a manageable hungover tomorrow." This! So many times I tried to stop myself from walking back to the gas station for another few more beers, but I always told myself, "you won't be that much more hungover, just do it."
That and the quote about short quipped conversations just to get through work. Working as a server this would happen so often. It was my job to talk to people, yet I found myself so annoyed having to do it because my head was pounding the entire time.
Loved the read!
