We had the exact same drinking habits as teenagers back in the '70's; pretty much to unconsciousness most weekends. Next morning first thing they would do is check the fridge to see if there was any beer left, not me, ya couldn't pay me to drink just then. That weren't willpower on my part, just preference, they both craved alcohol and I didn't. Long way of saying that I believe genetics plays a big part in it. FWIW both of 'em have been clean and sober for decades now, and both still go to meetings. Anyways Travis, I am happy for you that you seen what was happening before you lost everything.

Ultimately, how you let booze affect your life is a choice. Happy to hear you are making the right one. “Life is life and fun is fun, but it's all so quiet when the goldfish die.”

During this election season there has been too much arguing and sniping on this forum. We need all the help we can get when it comes to a quick wit and sense of humor. You have both in spades. Those who must raise their voice to get their point across are generally not intelligent enough to do so in any other way.

Congratulations on your positive steps toward bringing the better you to the surface. Best of luck with your project. You didn't use logic or reason to get into this opinion, I cannot use logic or reason to get you out of it. You cannot over estimate the unimportance of nearly everything. John Maxwell

Your whole attitude and outlook toward life will change. You will not regret the past or wish to shut the door on it. And you'll soon realize that God is doing for you that which you could not do for yourself. But I'm sure you already know that. Last edited by IndyCA35; 03/27/16. Don't blame me. I voted for Trump. Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

Never felt an apology was due in my direction and only accept it because it is important to you, which I respect. We're more than good. And way to go. Need anything, holler.
