Default My Situation

I'm a college student in South Georgia, and it really is amazing how many people I have met who are completely lost. Overheard a guy talking to one of his buddies on campus, laughing about getting a girl he doesn't know pregnant. It seems like there are very few people like myself, and it makes me feel awkward sometimes.

I've got plenty of good buddies down there, but I am one of the only people who doesn't drink, which is completely fine with me. I just drink a Red Bull and I'm ready to party. My buddies drink, but I've known them most of my life and they are just a bunch of good ol' South Georgia boys having harmless fun. But I do get angry when all these frat guys down there have young girls over to their houses, get them drunk, try to get lucky with them and get skirt, and so on. People like that don't care about their "friends". The more people that get drunk with them the better, because that way they feel less guilty about their bad decisions.

I ain't against people who drink, but it's just a personal choice for me because my dad was an alcoholic when I was younger, and I know it can run in the blood. I did a lot of stupid things as a teenager. I was the "popular" kid in high school. I drank (heavily), smoked marijuana, and I had those fake type of friends who really didn't care about me. I had the girls, the "friends", and yet I was baffled as to why I couldn't find true happiness.

One morning in church, I felt God slap me in the face. I was still drunk from the night before, my head on the pew in front of me, trying to stay awake and not puke. And then it hit me: I'm playing my guitar and singing songs to the youth group Wednesday nights, and going and getting smashed on the weekends. I haven't drank a drop or smoked anything since that day four years ago.

I'm not sure what the point of this post is. I am 100% committed to staying true to my convictions and beliefs; it's just the kind of guy I am. I am absolutely not anywhere near perfect. I dip, cuss sometimes, and laugh at dirty jokes. But I love life and know where my heart is, and while there are many things I need to and will improve, I really think God understands. I feel like that if I could just share my story, or give my whole testimony to a youth group or something I could really open some eyes.

Gettin Drunk is not having Harmless Fun it's a Sin and a Drunk won't go to Heaven.They are insecure!But I do get angry when all these frat guys down there have young girls over to their houses, get them drunk, try to get lucky with them and get skirt, and so on.

Dipping is bad? I thought it was manna from heaven. .. At $6.00 a can, they almost have it priced to what it's worth.

I do love to dip. There's just something about it. At most, it's only about $4.35 a can here.

It's certainly possible to enjoy yourself without drinking. I don't drink when my husband and I go out because I'm not old enough. (Couldn't if I wanted to.)

But I think I enjoy myself just as much as anyone else. Some people overdo it. Reminds me of that song, "The more I drink, the more I drink, the more I drink."
