@Strawburry17 You were already a blessing with your compassionate, loving, and awesome personality, and then here you have shared a bit more about how the Lord has blessed and helped you in your life. Thanks for sharing... and again, you truly ARE a blessing miss Burry! Have a blessed one!
just this past summer, I couldn't remeber what day of the week it was and would pass out and then drink again and I never had a hangover because I was never sober. I even popped pills and did crazy stuff. Through all of this I knew I was doing wrong, but just didn't care. As the school year started I was still drinking every weekend and popping pills during the week. I didn't have a wake-up call until my parents found out and I had a serious talk with my dad, who is a former alchoholic.
I'm glad you are doing things with your life that make you happy, but I'm pretty sure you could have done them whether you drank or not. Also, it's quite possible to have "dark periods" and suicidal thoughts without drinking or drugs of any sort...For me, alcohol (in small doses) helps me relax and unwind once in a while. Abusing it obviously is harmful, but you act like any consumption of it is the end of your life. I think that is the problem in America, they don't portray things accurately
@carnage101 its really subjective,and depends on the person. if you personally don't believe its right, then you wont be happy when your doing it. shes calling out to the people that were pressured into doing something that wasn't them. i dont think its wrong, but its definitely not for me. and alcoholism runs in my family,which is another reason i see it as dangerous. maybe that works for you, but she wasn't drinking it in small doses, but almost everyday. it has the potential to ruin lives :/
@WHSCougarGirl17 This is true. I guess the most important thing is to just do what makes you happy and not care what anyone else thinks lol. That's how I live at least
It's all very well to talk about kids getting high & what a shame it is etc. etc.
But most fail to realize it's a SYMPTOM, not the problem.
You can throw all the money in the world towards masking the symptom, but you're not tackling the problem. It remains there, hidden, until it reappears.
Trip heroic doses of psylocibin mushrooms and various other hallucinogenics. Do it for goodness sake! Don't drink alcohol you dimwits. Skateboarding is tight though. You should go shred.
I'm almost 21. I've never. Ever. Gave into temptation. Making friends is great, but I dropped a lot of them who just drank and tried to get me to. I didn't totally disconnect from them, but I distanced myself. It's rough if a lot of your "friends" are doing it. But there are people out there who don't.
That doesn't mean you don't have to be friends with drinkers! As long as they don't push it on you. True friends will never push anything on you.
Not sure if trolling or being inspirational...... But seriously, I've always been nerdy and uncool and I've never fallen pray to drugs and alcohol.... but the working world makes it harder and harder to not try to find an escape. Video games are still a very important outlet for me, so I stay away from dumb decisions by still being a gamer. Thumbs up to those who live in another world to keep their sanity.
I haven't used drugs since Jr. year of high school.
My life is a weak. I didn't get into any of my colleges, I have no friends, I'm still living at home and I am constantly thinking of suicide.
On the other hand. My friends who continued using drugs or drinking after high school and still in fact do so have gone off to college, made plenty of new friends, are attending great colleges and loving them and are living life to its fullest.
Living Above the Influence doesn't always improve life.
Teenagers are weak. everyone has a choice in what they do in highschool. I fuckin hate when teenagers say ''oh the pressure was what made me drink or do drugs..no if you can't say it was your fault that you got into drugs and drinking then your fucking weak. If you want to go out and try shit in highschool that's cool but don't blame anyone but yourself if your complaining about it later on. Oh and Legalize everywhere, Peace.
@BLVCKBACON "Oh and Legalize everything, peace", haha, and increasing the pressure?;) "It's legal, why shouldn't you?" . I think school, parents, media, should care a little bit more about what the kids are exposed to. The message should be "Relationships, friends, have fun, be generous, be kind, help others", But media says "Party every night, be wasted". Party-life isn't everything.
im homeschooled so i dont put up with that. and everyone around where i lives knows if they offer me drugs i'll probably beat the crap out of them. that and my brother in law is a cop.

It was kind of strange in my first year of high school. I felt an overwhelming urge to be accepted by others, but I never let this desire overcome my morality. I've stayed on the straight and narrow all throughout high school and I don't plan on changing a thing. I've grown a lot and I must say, being accepted by people I don't even LIKE is the last thing on my mind. Sadly, most teenagers don't realize that life is so much bigger than high school and they should respect themselves.
On the weekends I usually go down the shore, go to the punkin chunkin, the polar bear swim, state fairs, family's houses, camping, and etc, plus I have surrounded myself with friends that don't drink/smoke or have these "cool" parties. To avoid the pressure, I get as far as way as possible on the weekends from my hometown. I have an unending desire to move to Virginia Beach after college, and that will happen. basically take a passion (like traveling) to supress the pressure to drink or smoke.
I do not plan on drink in the future!Through out highschool I was really depressed since I moved to a new state I didnt know anyone...Everyone was already in their clicks...I always felt depressed and felt isolated. Drinking and drugs were everywhere at school..Ever since I got to college I found a bunch of new friends and found a community/home. I've been around drinking and drugs because i knew people who did it and how it effect their lives. Ill be 21 this year and I probably won't drink. =]
suicide has been a big problem for me..it still is a big problem for me i dont wanna smoke my life away growing up in high school. and i feel like i've betrayed alot of people.ive been in a right with my mom about homosexuality.. and im still searching for myself every day. some times i get people that call my phone and tell me are they they dead or alive.. and i dont know.. life kinda gets fucked in the ass for alot of people.. but i dont want to commite sucide and i dont want people to kill
two of my friends do drugs and think it's right. i'm 14 by the way. i told them that it's stupid & i don't plan to do it because it's stupid and doesn't do anything.. they looked at me funny. that doesn't change my opinion on how i look at drugs and alcohol. i still think it's stupid and the people who do it think it makes them look "cool."
that video was very inspiring, it showed that you can fall, but you can also get back up, thanks ( im not in high school, and do not yet have all of those problems, but its a great reminder when they do come)
Lol never had this problem. I am a responsible drinker and don't let it consume me. Drinking can be really fun and a good social activity. Be responsible and drink responsibly and you'll have a good time. I don't understand this pressure shit either and abovetheinflunence is retarded. Choose to start drinking because I wanted to and thats that. Anyone who said they started drinking because of peer pressure is most likely destined to be a horrible drinker. Responsible Wasted Weekend!
my respect for you has grown to the sky because i've watched this video. my dad was an alcoholic, well once one, always one, so i guess he still is. drinking led him to such horrible decisions. he cheated on my mom, started smoking, and got into God knows what else. He walked out on us 2 years 4 months and 16 days ago, and i hate it. i absolutely do. but my friends and family have helped me through this and now you have. thanks meghan!
I've been on varsity soccer since freshman year, lovin life too.
Anyone that does (harmful) drugs to be cool deserves all the harsh side effects, and being an addict, cause you're a fucking idiot if you do drugs to look "cool"
I am a social drinkers (parties) I've never had any alcohol other than parties, except having a beer or two with my family (that's legal here in WI) And i'm not exactly a "party hard" type guy, so I'm not to worried about becoming an alcoholic.
@420sativaboy that's fair enough man, but my point is if the person is happy with their life and isn't hurting the people they love through drugs then whats the problem? who are we to judge the life someone lives if you get me :)
I went to a really lame highschool where no one seemed to ever be sober and that was never me so i was extremely depressed from always being teased and outed for being weird i lasted 2 years there until i ha to transfer i never had many friends cuz i always wanted to be particular who i trusted there. Its hard that i was never able to make many friends in highschool and the ones i did fell into addiction. I now only have 1 friend i can trust but im so happy i was able to stay above the influenc
My dads an alcohol but, he's trying to quit, I never drank before and don't plan to because I see the harmful affects that it does to my dad and my family. Your not yourself, you say things your not suppose to, you hurt others as well as yourself. Your puting an experraction date on you when you drink not only alcohol but drugs and smoking, life is so much better when you know your liveing by makeing good choices L.I.F.E, live It Full Everyday.
I'm 16 and and i have only drunk once so far and to be honest whats the point :L its no different to drinking coke well i guess you could die from drinking like vodka or something but it does nothing for me so there's no point :') just had to re post
I'm 16 and and i have only drunk once so far and to be honest whats the point :L its no different to drinking coke well i guess you could die from drinking like vodka or something but it does nothing for me so there's no point :')
My friends always talk about drinking, and how they get arrested and run from the cops and wake up in strange houses.... strangely it makes me want to drink less.
Marijuana DOES NOT RUIN LIVES, Drugs Laws do. Above the influence is a good program. But legalizing everything will help the youth stay away from drugs even better. REMEMBER, This country was built on FREEDOM, so it is your life and your choice.
@RUDY2295 You sound so ridiculous. You're really going to come to this video and preach about something you have no idea about? And before you send me some bogus reply try brushing up on your grammar skills ;)
OK, I must be weird because I didn't face any of this pressure at all. I guess it can be summed up by the old saying, instead of "I just work there," it's "I just go(went) to school there." My classmates were my classmates and that was it, nothing more. Except for school clubs, as soon as the bell rung, I was gone...several miles away. I never drank since I wanted to avoid my family's history of it.
I personally started drinking and going out @14 y/o. Where I live a the time even @14 I was a little late to the party (no pun intended). I haven't had any problems with it. Ok, I have been a little sick a few times and blacked out once but other than that no big deal. It's just a natural thing for me when I go out and I never drink during the weekdays. One of my friends decided to go sober after he blacked out a few times. He just quit without 'divine intervention', just a personal decision.
@FunkyMonkey75100 We all respect that decision and still hang out with him just like before. There might be a joke every now and then (you want a beer too?) but it's all in good fun.
I kinda object to the supposed connection between quitting drinking and faith because the two have nothing to with each other. I also think that there's an implied judgement about 'oh drinking is bad and you only do it because of pressure' which I dislike. Could I still hang out with you nondrinkers if I'd drink?
this is bullshit, just because you're a drama queen and you can't handle drinking doesn't mean it's bad. I've been drinking since i was 14 (drinking is legal at the age of 16) and i haven't had a single problem with it, 'cept for hangovers. Maybe she doesn't have any self controle or discipline
My story: I didn't drink in high school. The thought of not being in control of myself was not appealing. A lot of my friends did, so I avoided the parties and kept to myself - watched a lot of youtube. It wasn't until I turned 22 that I decided to try cocktails because they have an appealing aura to them. So now I drink socially w. friends and family. I do it because I enjoy trying new things, I enjoy that warm feeling of elation that comes with a drink or two. It works for me.
"found some faith" You used to say how much GOD and JESUS were such apart of your life, but now that you are more popular is it not good to say those things? So lame.
Man you know, I always liked you. But this video made me realize how truly beautiful of a person you are. Despite you're considerable fame you have stayed true to your beliefs in God, yet you havent let your relationship with him make you so self righteous that you would look down on others. You do the very opposite, you admit what you've done wrong in the past. I can tell you, you've done so much better then I would say most claim-to-be Christians.
Just curious, What are your thoughts about Jesus turning water into wine? He probably just enjoyed the taste with his food. It makes me think that drinking per se isn't necessarily bad, but getting drunk and out of control is. Would love to hear what you think about this type of scenario.
I smoke weed but I am not depressed and have a very happy, successful life. It's not the substance that causes the problem it's the user. Some people cannot handle it and go overboard and let it ruin their lives. It's all about self control. Nothing wrong with a little smoke break after work to calm down and enjoy some video games
OKay this bitch is LIEING!! seriously drugs dont kill people, fake ads about drugs kill people! it slanders against alchoholics and drug abusers and makes them depressed and wana comit scuicide!! SERIOUSLy all you people living under the influence need to stand up against this bully/harassment! unite against the racism of abovetheinfluence!
telling people how to live their lives.... kinda dissapointing megs. im glad you got over your thing but i always think substance or alcohol abuse is ont he shoulders of the user only.
Pressures suck. I'm not in High School yet, but i can already tell that its gonna freaking suck. But, i will probably fail at that, and give in, but enough with that. You did a great thing, you know, getting out of drinking. If that happenes to me, I'll try to find the faith to get through it. You did a good thing, posting this video to help influence kids, like myself, into not making the wrong choices. Thank You.
let anyone tell you other wise. that's the time that you lose yourself. I'm not perfect, i make mistakes all the freaking time. But I know who I am and I don't let anyone else tell me who I am suppose to be.
Pressures are for shmucks. I don't mean to sound insensitive, but I know what I want, and I don't let people tell me what I should do. Peer pressure is real, and I am very blessed that God found me in the right place at the right time. I was one of the lucky ones, Yeah, sure, there was pressure. But I never once questioned who I am. I don't like any kind of liquor, i think they taste like piss, trust me, I know. (Don't ask)
But all in all, You just gotta know who you are in this world. never...
Anyway I hope you have a great time and make sure you visit: Rotorua, Nikau caves, Auckland, Pihia and the bay of islands, Opononi and while you are in Rotorua do the Maori village Hungi experience! Its fantastic!
I'm gonna make a video tomorrow about it but for now I just wanted to say that New Zealand is awesome! I'm going to go live there soon and I just came back from spending a month there! Their lifestyle is so much more casual and relaxed, the crime is low and the best part is they have no class like rich people or poor people. they treat everyone the same. So you have people that are really rich heaping people that are really poor it is a beautiful country too! Its like all the best things at once
Great story Meghan. I live in Denmark, and we don't have "middle school" and "high school" our schools just go from 0 - 10 grade. You can choose to go out of 9 grade, but I did go in 10 grade as well. Some schools only go to 7 or 6 grade, my school went to 7 grade, and then we all switched school together and split up after 9 grade.
That said, our experience with alcohol started in 7 grade, and we all just took it slowly. And in 8 and 9 grade we started really partying. More ->
-> I love going to parties, but we really have another way to look at it here in Denmark. At an age of 16 you are allowed to buy lighter alcohol (not e.g. shots) at the grocery stores. But we are also taught in the believe that we are responsible enough to handle it. And it's really up to the parents. My parents have always been very kind and open about alcohol, but I am a strong person, and not afraid of saying no. I'm 18 today and now we party in the city! I'm just saying it's okay to party!
Wish I knew you during those '' dark times'', ya know, I think you're worth so much more than that. I Would've pushed ya out that ''hole''. I've had a lot of problens in my life where I just lost my spark for life and thought that what ever I did was meaningless, bad times always seem longer than the good ones, think about all the good things you have! It helped me =D
Btw Strawburry17 you're one sweet girl, you'll make it, what ever it is life asks of us xD
i am truly inspired by this and have risen above the influence and I thank you very greatly for that! Just a sidenote for possibly a future video. Yes yes I know that the posting of copyrighted content is ILLEGAL but this is for entertainment purposes only. I put it in aiff format cause i know that you have a mac :D also this is my favorite song and it kindof makes me cry (ps. its already edited) : ('double-u' 3X)(dot)mediafire(dot)com/?0p8941cq8671i8m pls dont mark as spam as it ISNT
@strawburry17 I used to drink a lot, but Oxy cured me of that. Then the heroin epidemic hit our area and I switched to that cuz it's cheaper. But apparently not cheap enough because in 6 months I had emptied my checking account, pawned all my stuff (including all my recording equipment and my cameras and MacBook with Adobe Master Collection so i can't even make videos), started stealing everything that's not nailed down, plus trapping. I'm worried some1 wore a wire on me. Clean 15 days tho.
wow, oddly enough today i was thinking about one of your old vlogcandy videos where you talked about what you went through in highschool. and i wanted to say as a regular 13 year old and a HUGE fan of yours, that i love you. you are the most amazing youtuber ever! you are so inspiring and you have a great message, you really deserve an award or somthing because you have changed mine and i bet a bunch of other peoples lives. thank you <3
omg you are so right, just had the same thoughts yesterday (and the day before actually). To me it's so hard to say no when everybody around you does it. It's great to see some commitment about this issue.
Awh... I'm 15 and i've tried a bit of alcohol and wasn't pleased with the smell and the taste and yet still I wonder why people love/loved it.... and almost half of the people know that alcohol can destroy your internal organs and cause death and they still do it -.-' But Good for you Megan for stopping your drinking habit <3 Love you take care hun :")
Oh my gosh, I never would have thought that you've been through something like that--I've always seen your videos and just assumed that you were born laughing and with a smile on your face and that that's the way it's always been. You're so much stronger than I would have ever guessed. So inspiring! <3
@SmallTownCityDreams really idiot! people arent born laughing, babies are crying and slimey and shit!! and doctors beat the shit out of newborns and make them cry! seriously the only thing that could calm down a newborn is alchohol and morphine!
Tons of people at my school are obsessed with makeup, drinking, smoking, parties - all of the kinds of things that I'm not. Most people are also obsessed with how they look, or how much they weigh, or what kinds of clothes they wear.
Me, I just do what I want to do, wear what I want to and focus on being the person I want to be. I only make friends with those who accept me for who I am, and I ignore anyone who tries to drag me from what I want to be.
im 20 and i dont drink, smoke, do drugs, etc. i have felt pressure from society and some friends to do these things. but it would honestly surprise you how many people are accepting if you just say no. a lot of people are like "oh thats cool" and if people seriously pressure you then those arent people who you should be hanging out with
...my friends have started drinking a lot, and I do drink aswell. I actually don't enjoy drinking, I hate feeling out of control of my own body. But at the same time if I go to a party I hate to be the one not drinking, drinking sort of makes me feel slightly more relaxed. I think I need to find the balance between feeling relaxed but not getting out of control. This is really hard because I haven't got much experience with drinking yet. This video really inspired me, I admire you for sharing...
I didn't want to make a video response, but I want to say that I am currently in high school. I go to parties occasionally but not every weekend. I don't really feel pressured to be at 'cool parties' like you refer to in this video because I wouldn't really want to be at a party where I'm uncomfortable and insecure, because I'm surrounded by people I don't trust. I am not really friends with any big drinkers, or atleast I wasn't last year. This year has been a big change...
I was just like you, I didn't believe in drinking. I NEVER EVERRR wanted to touch a drink in my entire life until I was hanging around the wrong crowd. I'm glad you opened up. You're very beautiful, not just on the outside but on the inside. You have such a nice personality. It would be nice for you to meet your viewers and for all of us to get together and relate to each other. Until then, I will be watching your awesome videos. :)
My story is kind of the opposite of yours Meghan. I was determined to not give into any pressures going into high school.But the more I decided to live my OWN life,the more isolated I felt like I was from my peers.Eventually I wasn't comfortable enough with others or myself to talk... to anyone.I just went silent.With no friends I got depressed a lot, even attempted suicide a couple times.Luckily I have a similar ending to your, Jesus saved me, and now I hav found things worth living(happily)for
This is a great video on how you handled yourself. I'm very grateful for this! I'm not in high school yet but i will defenitely keep this is mind when i get there. Thanks Megan!! Keep making your awesome videos!! I'm a Burry 4 life!!!! <3
I'm not gonna lie, I do drink almost every weekend but it's not because if peer pressure or anything. I'm just one of those people who enjoys drinking alcohol. Alcohol isn't always a bad thing. Sure you have to know your limits but it's not really as bad as some might think as long as you dont abuse it. I'm not trying to preach to anyone or comprise their beliefs I'm just making a point
Meghan you are my inspiration, i havent yet moved past, i used to be the good catholic perfect boy that always did everything right, but then something happened and I 100% changed, i started smoking, drinking and whoring myself around, i lost my job, friends, family, and was kicked out of my house and i dropped out of college and lost my faith completely. Where I'm at now, Its hard to believe i can go back, but you've always inspired me to have hope. cuz i known you did this. I love you so much.
@Strawburry17 Hey Meghan, I was wondering if i could your cover of Oh Darling as a background music to on of my videos? Oh and BTW i LOVE You and you amazing videos.
I've never been one to have issues with substance control. Didn't drink till I was 21 and only do it once and a while. Quit smoking cigs 5 years ago cold turkey with no issues. Because of this I cannot relate to what was said in this video, so it that fact that most likely diminishes anything I have to say reguarding it. That said, I think your story is very uplifting and hopefully some one saw this and was inspired to rise above their current station in life.
Watching this this video drunk, awkward... jk, It's a good message and I agree with it completely, you can do much more with your life by staying away from alcohol.
thank u i put this on my facebook page, Im Drug Free

I think school, parents, media, should care a little bit more about what the kids are exposed to. The message should be "Relationships, friends, have fun, be generous, be kind, help others", But media says "Party every night, be wasted". Party-life isn't everything.

It was kind of strange in my first year of high school. I felt an overwhelming urge to be accepted by others, but I never let this desire overcome my morality. I've stayed on the straight and narrow all throughout high school and I don't plan on changing a thing. I've grown a lot and I must say, being accepted by people I don't even LIKE is the last thing on my mind. Sadly, most teenagers don't realize that life is so much bigger than high school and they should respect themselves.

On the weekends I usually go down the shore, go to the punkin chunkin, the polar bear swim, state fairs, family's houses, camping, and etc, plus I have surrounded myself with friends that don't drink/smoke or have these "cool" parties. To avoid the pressure, I get as far as way as possible on the weekends from my hometown. I have an unending desire to move to Virginia Beach after college, and that will happen. basically take a passion (like traveling) to supress the pressure to drink or smoke.

I do not plan on drink in the future!Through out highschool I was really depressed since I moved to a new state I didnt know anyone...Everyone was already in their clicks...I always felt depressed and felt isolated. Drinking and drugs were everywhere at school..Ever since I got to college I found a bunch of new friends and found a community/home. I've been around drinking and drugs because i knew people who did it and how it effect their lives. Ill be 21 this year and I probably won't drink. =]

two of my friends do drugs and think it's right. i'm 14 by the way. i told them that it's stupid & i don't plan to do it because it's stupid and doesn't do anything.. they looked at me funny. that doesn't change my opinion on how i look at drugs and alcohol. i still think it's stupid and the people who do it think it makes them look "cool."

Lol never had this problem. I am a responsible drinker and don't let it consume me. Drinking can be really fun and a good social activity. Be responsible and drink responsibly and you'll have a good time. I don't understand this pressure shit either and abovetheinflunence is retarded. Choose to start drinking because I wanted to and thats that. Anyone who said they started drinking because of peer pressure is most likely destined to be a horrible drinker.

OK, I must be weird because I didn't face any of this pressure at all. I guess it can be summed up by the old saying, instead of "I just work there," it's "I just go(went) to school there." My classmates were my classmates and that was it, nothing more. Except for school clubs, as soon as the bell rung, I was gone...several miles away. I never drank since I wanted to avoid my family's history of it.

I personally started drinking and going out @14 y/o. Where I live a the time even @14 I was a little late to the party (no pun intended). I haven't had any problems with it. Ok, I have been a little sick a few times and blacked out once but other than that no big deal. It's just a natural thing for me when I go out and I never drink during the weekdays. One of my friends decided to go sober after he blacked out a few times. He just quit without 'divine intervention', just a personal decision.

@FunkyMonkey75100 We all respect that decision and still hang out with him just like before. There might be a joke every now and then (you want a beer too?) but it's all in good fun.
I kinda object to the supposed connection between quitting drinking and faith because the two have nothing to with each other. I also think that there's an implied judgement about 'oh drinking is bad and you only do it because of pressure' which I dislike. Could I still hang out with you nondrinkers if I'd drink?

My story: I didn't drink in high school. The thought of not being in control of myself was not appealing. A lot of my friends did, so I avoided the parties and kept to myself - watched a lot of youtube. It wasn't until I turned 22 that I decided to try cocktails because they have an appealing aura to them. So now I drink socially w. friends and family. I do it because I enjoy trying new things, I enjoy that warm feeling of elation that comes with a drink or two. It works for me.

Great story Meghan. I live in Denmark, and we don't have "middle school" and "high school" our schools just go from 0 - 10 grade. You can choose to go out of 9 grade, but I did go in 10 grade as well. Some schools only go to 7 or 6 grade, my school went to 7 grade, and then we all switched school together and split up after 9 grade.
That said, our experience with alcohol started in 7 grade, and we all just took it slowly. And in 8 and 9 grade we started really partying. More ->
xsimonlarsen 1 month ago in playlist Uploaded videos
-> I love going to parties, but we really have another way to look at it here in Denmark. At an age of 16 you are allowed to buy lighter alcohol (not e.g. shots) at the grocery stores. But we are also taught in the believe that we are responsible enough to handle it. And it's really up to the parents. My parents have always been very kind and open about alcohol, but I am a strong person, and not afraid of saying no. I'm 18 today and now we party in the city! I'm just saying it's okay to party!

But at the same time if I go to a party I hate to be the one not drinking, drinking sort of makes me feel slightly more relaxed. I think I need to find the balance between feeling relaxed but not getting out of control. This is really hard because I haven't got much experience with drinking yet. This video really inspired me, I admire you for sharing...

I didn't want to make a video response, but I want to say that I am currently in high school. I go to parties occasionally but not every weekend. I don't really feel pressured to be at 'cool parties' like you refer to in this video because I wouldn't really want to be at a party where I'm uncomfortable and insecure, because I'm surrounded by people I don't trust. I am not really friends with any big drinkers, or atleast I wasn't last year. This year has been a big change...

That said, I think your story is very uplifting and hopefully some one saw this and was inspired to rise above their current station in life.

Watching this this video drunk, awkward... jk, It's a good message and I agree with it completely, you can do much more with your life by staying away from alcohol.
