7. With the exception of weed and alcohol, I haven't used any other drugs.

I quit drinking entirely in 2013.

I was dressed to the nines because we had just gone to a wedding about an hour away.

On the way home, I wanted to stop at a bar near my home, but my wife was tired and wanted to go home.

She told me to go out and have fun.

So I went to the bar and ran into a barmaid that I know who was off duty, and she was sitting with two old friends of mine.

They got me good and drunk, and apparently, I had the whole bar cracking up laughing.

The only thing I remember is some drunk woman slapping the shit out of me while I ducked and covered. She had no idea where or who she was, and she was so drunk that her eyes were looking in two different directions.

Someone drove me the half mile home.

I woke up the next morning to about 50 texts from different people with nothing but a "laughing" emoji.

I never had another drink again.
