When I first got my bike 3 years ago I "swore " I'd never drink if I was going to ride. Three months later I figured, one drink doesn't even buzz me so I'll just be extra careful... the next year I'm riding from bar to bar... early this summer it's double bourbons and I'm thinking of doing Crazy Larry stunts. " A man takes a drink, then a drink takes a drink, then the drink takes a man." Obviously not everyone can drink in moderation. Many can and do and I'm not passing judgement on anyone just relating my battle with the bottle. I'm seven weeks clean and sober and hope to remain that way. I must admit that finding places to go to is harder if I rule out the pubs. But I do get to ride to work each day and I stop by a local river for a cig and morning meditation and gratitude. Probably more than y'all wanted to know.
