You were definitely putting on a show at the beach, and if you can remember, you finally won me over. Yep, you joined me for the drive home. Over 200 miles of you and me on the road together. We seemed to have a lot of those kinda moments, especially towards the end. I’m gonna really miss our steak dinners together.

When we first met, I just knew we would be life-long friends and for a long time, we had a blast together. You brought out the exciting, fun, relaxed, invincible girl. I was fearless, I could dance, talk, flirt with guys and not worry about what others thought about me. Free from anxiety, stress, and worry. Without you, I am accomplishing more than I ever have. Without you, I am returning to the life and people I once loved because I know they still love me.

And who could forget how you stayed by my side when my kids were born and we toasted the night away. “We were almost afraid that if we put a bunch of vocals on it, that might take away from the pain and authenticity of that singular vocal,” Kelley adds. I hope one day that everyone wakes up to what you really are so that we may all be free of your nonsensical way of life. You might think you have everyone fooled, but I have news for you, Alcohol – WE ARE ON TO YOU!
