In my youth when i was like you i too got drunk and made a fool of myself.
then one day you wake up and say to yourself like W.T.F. this boozing lark is just a waste of money, money i could'nt really afford to waste.
but hey i was young right?? and deserved to spend my hard earned money
on what i wanted????
have a great day

Hello he who has a really COOL name. Two things in your write that jumped out at me like a vampire diving for cover at sunrise.

First, is the last thing you said, on becoming a recluse. Please don't do that. I tried that and it worked wonders for a very short time, but then it got to be too easy to stay there and everything just went from bad to worse after that.

Secondly, I feel a little feeling of a different nature is written between your words about wanting to get wasted and let go on his last night with you. And maybe that same feeling was shared by him as to why he was getting so drunk too. Don't really know, it's just what came across to me as I read this.

You will need to loudly let your friends know when you want to let loose, especially if you have gotten the rep of being the mother hen at parties, they will be expecting that unless you tell them differently.

But I am glad all is well now. Message me if you want and let me know how you left things between you two when he left.
