I survived my probation. Bootcamp for life. That's what it felt like. Anyways, it is over and done. I couldn't fathom the idea at first. A year without drinking or drugs. However, there was the occasional "slip up" and drinking binge. To tell me that I couldn't drink alcohol at age 23 was difficult for me to accept. Just the idea that someone had the authority over me, or the power to tell me I couldn't do something really made me mad. Especially as an American citizen- Hell... that's my God given right, right? To do what I want. So a year to grow up! Sounds petty and small. Only a year of sobriety. To each his own. Honestly, I didn't think I'd live to see 21. When I was in Elementary School, I remember looking up to the 5th graders and thinking that'd I'd never live to be that old or that cool.
They say the human brain fully developes at the age of 24. I dont know if that is scientifically proven. But I'm guessing it's a general statement or figure that scientists want us to believe. However, my brain must have been in ultra growth mode over the this year because I hear more clearly then I ever have before... or well, more certain that I hear now.
