Why I don't drink Anymore

I have so many friends that ask why I no longer drink. My response usually is "That's between me and God!" I have finally decided to let the world know what my little secret is. 

I am tired of consciously choosing to be unconscious. My vulnerability looks better on me when it's glow is from grace not the bittersweetness of grape after taste. The truth is, alcohol is no longer my drug of choice -- love is!

Passed all my classes... Let's drink! 

Someone is getting married... Drink and be Merry! 

Lost a friend today to gun violence...sadly... I need a drink. 

All my friends and family drink, why shouldn't I?

Everyone is entitled to make their own decision no matter what their religion or age is...  

I choose to be conscious, realistic and myself in natural form.
