01 What it was like
It was great didn’t like being out of control anyways❤️
I liked to bowl and the girls on my team were drinkers.
02 What happened
I liked to bowl and the girls on my team were drinkers. So when I got off of work I would have to go play catch up. So by then I would be twice as drunk as anybody else. I was picked up by the town cop and he got with a DUI. And to me that was not my goal in life. The good Lord was with me through thick and thin. On that day I decided no more. And I thank Jesus Christ our savior fo helping me out for getting that DUI. It made me stop and think for once!!
03 What it is like now
Praise the Lord I am a much better person.
