People, Places, and Things

I was born in a small, beautiful village in the hills of Nepal. However, it was in Kathmandu, the capital city, that I took my first drink with some friends from school. My companions, I am sure, did not intend to turn me into an alcoholic, they just wanted to see me enjoy life. In the beginning, I did not refuse the request of my friends and took several sips on their behalf. In the course of time, however, I started drinking for myself. I started spending money from my own pocket and became a regular drinker. From then on I started to spend my life as an alcoholic.
