You did very well Frank. She is right in that half is hers.
Make a promise to yourself to stay away from the sauce for life. I kind of understand what you are saying about AA. I fully support you stopping it without their help. I stopped drinking 15 years ago because I saw myself getting hindered by alcohol - I quit on my own and have held the pledge to myself to never touch the stuff ever again. My father did the same. My brother tried the AA and rehab and it did no good - it was only when he hit rock bottom and was going to get thrown out by his wife that he stopped for good. You can do it too.
Are those parrots noisy? Can they talk? Do they annoy the dogs?
