Like, I'm an addict. That's just some of us are built different or some... I don't know whether we're built different or we just abuse drinking too much that I can't just have one or two and be happy. But regardless of that, I'm just going to change my addiction from drinking and drugs to fitness, well-being, and trying to find peace and calmness.
