I'm an alcoholic! I'm an alcoholic! ;-) Only one in my family, and now over 17 years dry (and coming up on 2 off cigarettes). Can't imagine the tedium of being "ever mindful of how much I drink". I'd much rather not have a drink at all than have to count them and stop at some point. Very grateful it's no longer an issue for me. (Bearing in mind that I'm still not immune to "Y.E.T.".) I sobered up at Fremont Hall, one of the most widely known AA Fellowship Halls in the world, a fairly raucous place then and now. My "Fremont Hymn" is an encapsulation of the sort of wit and wisdom that enabled [danger word!] me to quit and stay quit. Hard as that may be to believe.
