Is a GOOD memory a BONUS??

My ex-girlfriend called me up today. At first,I thought she was inviting me to another church activity again,but I later found out from her that she was just doing a random market research(what a let down). I was supposed to attend her church's Christmas Eve's celebration at the Indoor Stadium last year,but because I was down with flu,I had to cancel(last minute). Guessed she was rather angry about it,but she was also very understanding(the reason why I fell in love with her).
We found one another again on Friendster last year,along with her,I found her younger sister,whom I knew before her! Thanks to Friendster.com,I've found a lot of old friends,and even some NEW ones! Some of my old friends were commenting about how I could still remember things about them,and it got me thinking again about things.
I remembered how I used to drown myself in drinks(anything from beer to house-pours,to the occasional red wine or port),just so that I could forget about the fact that I was no longer attached. Back then,I would be DOWNING a bottle of VODKA or BOURBON every weekend,and more than 3/4 of my pay would go to drinking. That lasted for about 3 years or so,till I started feeling a burning sensation in my liver every time I drink.
That was like the worst wake up call my body could give me! I was scared shitless back then. I then stopped the drinking sessions and started accepting the fact that I'm single all over again. There was another wake up call back then too,not from my body though,but from my exams results. I failed EVERY SINGLE SUBJECT that I attempted that year. What a DOUBLE WHAMMY!!!!!!!!!!
I'm now still an alcoholic,with my trusty liquor-bottle always in my bag,but I only go through one or two bottles of liquor a year these days. However,that's excluding the beer drinking sessions at the local neighborhood coffeeshop,alone or with friends. I still can't really QUIT though,couldn't help it. But it is definitely better than what I used to do!!!!


Comments:
i have a bad memory... or short memory... now i'm not sure which is worse. i have people telling me stuff happening a few years ago and i'll go... eh.. that did happen? or sometimes i know i'm super mad at someone and haven't been talking to that person for years but when you ask me the reason, i can't recall why! *l* but that doesn't make me any less angrier.. funny eh?

good that you're cutting down on your alcohol intake. i could never understand why people could be alcoholic... beers, wines, whatever, TASTE AWFUL! YUCK!!!

p/s i'm the one who posted abt artscentral but forgot to leave my name ^,^
