Hi my friends at MWO. just getting back from vacation. It will take me a bit to catch up with all that I have missed while basking in the Caribbean sun.
I was really worried that I was going to have a hard time moderating or staying sober due to the fact that I was spenidng time in a place where booze is cheap and being on vacation is a pretty heavy temptation.
i did well, and partly because all the people I was spending time with, where non drinkers or moderators.
I did experience one incident that I will not forget.
I was on a boat with some friends going to one of the cays that surround the island. We saw 2 guys and a girl in the water struggling to get back on a jet sky, we approached them on the boat to helped them (good thing they had life jackets on).
The girl was panicking, we helped her on the boat, the 2 guys appeared to be fighting . Then one of them threw a punch at the other, while they seemed to be trying to turn the jet sky over, we kept telling them to come on the boat, finally one of the guys did, the other still refused.
We circled around the jet sky until he finally jumped up on the boat, he sat next to me and started telling us what had happened.
he was swearing and out of control, then we realized he was totally drunk and had taken the other man and his girlfriend for a ride on his jet sky, how they didn't realize he was drunk I'll never figure it out.
Finally the drunk guy got really belligerent and started threatening us and we called the coast guard who took him away.
That just confirmed to me how scary and stupid being drunk could be.
missed you all and I am glad to be back. refreshed and ready for NYC.
