Abstinence Project Mr.Morphet
Drinking Abstinence
For this assignment, I chose to stop drinking. I work in a club downtown and the peer
pressure makes it very hard not to drink and go out, especially when you’re friends with all your
co-workers—yikes! Since I’m so close with these people, we chose to go out on odd nights
because we work on the typical weekend nights to go out. That means we are not staying home
5-6 times a week! I waited till the due date of the assignment to start, which is very irresponsible
of me but I didn’t want to lie about the abstinence. I realize I needed a change; the going out and
drinking has started to affect my school work. Along with my ADHD, it was not a good mix.
