Enemy 4: I owe it to myself

 I saw Bill Cosby live once and he was just hilarious.  This pretty much sums up my point.  I have been responsible, I have worked hard, why shouldn't I be able to enjoy a drink whenever I want?  The only way I can think of to change this mindset is to come up with some other reward for a job well done, and that something needs to be less addictive, less expensive, and more wholesome than drinking, otherwise there is no point.

  1. I had Bill Cosby records as a kid. His honesty was what was so funny. That human quality that is
    so true in all of us.

    You have to work for what you want.
    ...and don't think you can alway hit a home run.

  2. I have seen him live too. He did the dentist bit almost word for word. It was surreal seeing it in person after having practically memorized it from watching as a kid. I don't get sick like he shows, but I do often ask myself why I say the same thing at the end of the week. "I deserve to get drunk..and get out of my way". Then I spend all day Sunday and Monday in pain. Only to do the same thing over again. Wash, rinse, repeat.
