Have you seen the latest video of a drunken Keifer Sutherland coming outside of a bar after happy hour?
For Keifer it’s not the first time he's been caught on tape like this- I’m not showing this to make fun of him either.
It has been a little over two years since I quit drinking alcohol. For me, life is much better without booze! Keifer Sutherland's video brings back memories, bad ones of the way I used to get when I set out to party down! I never considered myself an alcoholic, but I definitely over drank and didn't know when to stop. Sometimes I staggered, spoke crazily, and at other times I was able to hide it and still function and the next day not remember anything. When friends remind me of the time I did this or said that when I was intoxicated, I'm less inclined to laugh about it.
I don't know if its maturity or what they refer to as clarity of thought; but shame and embarrassment seem like better words to use. People wave that off and say hey, that’s just a part of who you used to be. Growing up…maybe?
Sometimes I have dreams where in my dream I’m drunk and the overwhelming feeling I have even while sleeping is fear! Fear of being out of control of my body and my actions! I never want to be like that again…I just wish I could go back and re-live those wasted years!
