Another Fremont Hall Item. It is not a pretty place, but it saved my life. It's the only place I know where the F-word is frequently invoked in public, with reference to or in addressing the Deity, in loving piety. My Baptist brethren by and large don't understand, either. ;-)

Seems to me anyone who had come (as I did) within days of death from their (seeming) chronic inability, repeatedly demonstrated over many years, to stay off the sauce would, once sober, be exhibiting something not called sanity to start drinking again for any reason short of saving a loved one from an armed terrorist. So my strong belief is that if those (like GUEST and Willie O) who recount their successful post-abstinence drinking careers are being honest about their current experience, they probably were not "my kind" of alcoholic, or (if they were) they demonstrated suicidal tendencies in starting again and should be grateful they've been spared the normal results so far, and quit again quick while they still apparently can. But it's their lives, and I wish them the best.
