Bar tending/hanging out with friends/and AA meetings

So i am spending as much time with my little sis before she goes and decided to go to an AA meeting with her. She is 60 days sober. Who-hoo! She has decided to never drink again. This must be the hardest thing she has ever done, because she LOVES to drink, LOVES it. It is a mystery to me how some people drink and drink and drink and don't stop. I drink 4 or 5 and I'm so ready to quit. I get wobbly or dizzy or just tired. Some people drink, throw up, drink some more. I don't know how I could ever do that. I have other vices, like smoking cigarettes, and I am definitely addicted to that, but drinking I have never had a problem with. After the meeting my boyfriend told my little sis he was an alcoholic. This surprised and scared me a bit. I have seen him really drunk only once in the two months we have been dating, so he's got it under control, but there are stories of him blacking out he was so drunk. I have full faith in him that he won't ever get that bad, cause he's really curbed it especially since we have been dating. I see nothing wrong with drinking, getting tipsy and even a little drunk on occasion, but I am convicted of driving while in that state, and this I have decided has got to stop. I'll be the dd or have someone else drive me or just crash out a couple hours on the couch before I head home. Gosh I'm getting older. Realizing more and more that I am not invincible. I have to leave in 10 minutes to go to the restaurant where tonight I am training to bartend. After that I am going over to my Korean friend's house to watch a couple episodes of game of thrones. I am happy to spend time with her because we just reunited our friendship a couple months ago. We have known each other for 20 years. Damn that's a long time. I'm terrible about keeping up with friends and this is a new goal of mine, to keep in touch and spend time with them. Tomorrow I am going to the movies with another friend, then Sunday going to see yet another friend play in his band. I always do this, get behind on shit, procrastinate, then try and make it all up in one week. Well, at least I'm getting to spend time with them now.
