I've written so far about my short journey heading into Alcoholics Anonymous, i thought it would be a good idea to reflect on how i ended up in the situation to lead me down this path.
As a child i never liked the idea of drinking and consistently said i would never drink, i watched my parents and there friends drink at gatherings and parties, not excessively for Australian culture but still many more then your recommend standard drinks in this day and age!
But little did i know i had my teenage years ahead of me and as we all know allot changes during this time of your life, my friends started to change and i began heading out at night on my own for the first time in my life, albeit with a strict 9pm curfew, this at began when i was 15.
By the time i had turned 16 i had extended my curfew to 10pm and had started to bare witness to alcohol use, it wasn't long till i had tried my first drink shortly followed by my first drunken experience.
Parties started becoming a weekly thing and they all involved alcohol i was drinking most weekends almost definitely every second weekend, and come school holidays it was a 3, 4 night a week party! these were exciting fun times! little did i know i was setting myself up for a problem later in a life.
