Better Than Alcohol
The funny thing is if you’re trying to stop drinking you need something better than alcohol, and alcohol is pretty good! So you better find something a lot better man. You want to figure out something that you’re doing with your life that’s worth not getting drunk and screwing up. […] “why do people drink too much” If you like alcohol that’s a stupid question. It’s because it’s great, so why stop. Well, you do stupid things when you’re drunk, you hurt yourself, you compromise your health, it’s really hard on the people around you, you tend to turn into a liar, and it screws your life up. Yeah, but it’s pretty fun. Well yeah, it is, but you need something better than that. […] You need an adventure man. You need to get out there and have something to do, something worth waking up for. You need the substitute for the Addiction. Actually, the addition is the substitute for that, if truth be known.
