Gardener, you kicked alcohol too! I haven't had a drink in at least 30 years. The army taught me to drink and I discharged the habit early with a little help from a rehab program. The army used to have a commercial that sang "There's no life like it and I won't forget the day that I learned to live the Forces way" We used to sing "there's no bar like it, and I won't forget the day that I learned to drink the Forces way" Hey, beer was cheap, hell they used to line us up for a beer ration when we were out in the boonies somewhere. Anyway, enough of that, but I'm damn proud of the fact that through all the stress I've been through while DBing and afterwards, I have never touched a drop. A friend once asked me if I was tempted but I said that anything that would threaten my access to my kids is not an option! What's your story, only if you want to share it, don't feel you have to!
