I first realized

that I was abusing substances

when I was a private.

I was mixing

Crown and Dr. Pepper, and

the amount of Dr.

Pepper got less and less.

The amount of Crown got more.

And next thing you know,

I am having some pretty stout

drinks with minimal feelings

of intoxication or took

longer to feel intoxicated.
