What are you waiting for?
Very few people on here know that i was very close to losing my big sister to drunk driver, but that has shaped the way i am when it comes to drinking.
If i go out... I will have one MAYBE two drinks.. nothing more... if i am going to get drunk i drink at home or when i am camping, places where i am not going to be driving.
Some of my friends don't know about this... so.. sometimes i have to enlighten them as to why i am sitting behind their car not letting them back out of the parking space after they are trashed...
One of my friends tonight got VERY drunk... I quite literally manhandled her to get her keys and into the passenger seat of my car. thank the gods i outweigh her by a lot.. after finally getting her sober.. (2.5 hours later) i finally gave her the keys back.. then i explained to her just why i did that.
I refuse to lose another friend.. i have lost to many because they were drinking. I have come close to losing my big sister... after i explained to her why i acted the way i did.. she felt bad.. and realized that I do consider her such a good friend that i don't want to lose her.
so. it is 5am.. I got off work at 1.. got to her by 2... I am hoping that now she will call me when she needs a ride... That is my goal. I choose to NOT drink so that I can be there to drive for my friends. I WANT them to wake me up at 4 am because they aren't sober. I want to keep my friends alive.
I don't want people to change themselves because they enjoy drinking, I just want them to know they can call me and no matter the time.. no matter what i am doing... no matter if i have to get up in 2 hours... i will be there for them.
Isn't that what a friend does? A shoulder to cry on.. A ride when it is needed.. A friend is there for the other... and i WANT to be that friend
Hopefully I got through to her (and others..)
