[Picture snapped using my infinix hot note 4]

My past is not one that I can look back to and be happy about. I have lived a life of regrets almost all my life. In this story I am going to share with you my battle with alcohol addiction.

I have been drinking since the year 2010 but I can assure you that somebody that has been drinking ten years before me have not drank much quantity than me. A family brother of mine other that introduced me to alcohol. Then he just took me out to a motel filled with prostitutes and ordered a drink for me at the bar and he went inside with a lady.

I can remember vividly that he got me a bottle of the Guinness, a small bottle. Can I say as stupid as I was I didn't even bother that it was alcohol,i just drank while waiting for him. He came back sweating I guess he had a nice time but that was not my problem. At that moment I had already finished the drink and he asked if I wanted another one I refused because my eyes were turning already so I requested to go home.

It was the first time I witnessed how alcohol reacts in the body. The reaction was not too much as I just went to sleep immediately I got home. When I woke up I was already back to normal and that was the making of a drunkard. I wish I never took that drink, not because alcohol is bad but because it turned me into something else I didn't have the ability to say no to alcohol. Then i started lusting after alcohol. I always wanted to drink. I mostly drink in the night and go to bed straight when i got home so that my dad would not notice

It was close to that time that I got admission into the university. University is filled with a lot of people good and bad, serious and unserious. My love for alcohol made me move with the unserious ones. I became more addicted to alcohol as I was always drinking everyday. The everyday drinking is not really my concern, my concern is the quantity I drink every day and my inability to sat no and take my eyes off alcohol.

This was a very big problem for me because alcohol has brought me nothing but shame, every time I drank alcohol, I always misbehave. Mostly I usually get into a unnecessary fight or say things i am not supposed to say. The funny thing is that it is when i am drunk that i think of approaching a lady. Though it gives me the courage to walk up to a lady but not all ladies likes a drunkard. And at that time i always think of seeking revenge from those that have offended me long time ago.

Allow Me To Share With You Some Of The Times I Messed Up Under The Influence Of Alcohol.

There are countless of times i messed up but allow me to share

The problem i had was not with alcohol itself. It was me that did not know when to always stop.

1

There was a lady I liked and I invited her to come over to my hostel which she did. But when she arrived as usual I was already drunk then I was just saying nonsense which I don't remember. From the look of things the girl already liked me but for the fact that I got drunk and I lost control of myself she had to stay off me. That was how I lost her

2

We went for a friend's birthday party. We went to a pool at first and i was already drunk already. We later went to a bar. I was not supposed to drink anything again but there is a strong spirit in me that makes me go against my wish. I drank another bottle of beer. I did not even finish it before i started misbehaving. I left our table and went to other people's table and started dancing with them. They noticed i was drunk and asked me to leave. Instead of me to leave i just kept disturbing them. They brought in the bouncer and he threw me out. After that day i promised no to drink again.

3

A friend invited me to a show in their area. The show has not started when i got there. He ordered for drinks and we were drinking. I was just drinking it like water. I got drunk before the party even started and i just logged out in the floor and slept off. According to my friend i vomited there and i still slept on it

My mum has been warning me about alcohol but i wouldnt listen. I went out to drink and i came home heavily drunk. I staggered my way home and i fell before i could climb the staircase. It was my mum and a neighbour that carried me upstairs. My mum was scared and i thought i was dead. She tried to revive me by putting pepper in my mouth. I woke up in my own vomit. My was was furious. She did not speak to me for weeks. It was then i made up my mind never to drink alcohol again. This happen just a month ago and since then i have not tasted alcohol and i pray i will never taste it again.

There were many cases in the past bit i guess this one is enough.
