Can't remember when I quit exactly - somewhere @ 1993 or so. I do know it was a Halloween night.

Anyway, Merry sober Christmas to you and yours, Bif!

Holidays are much more fulfilling when you can actually be present and not in a alcohol or drug induced stupor. I've managed to remain happy joyful and free since 82 and life just keeps getting better.

We're taking two cars over to my B-I-L's house. I plan on splitting a little after dinner--doing the ol' Irish Goodbye. My pregnant daughter will drive my wife home later.

Boy, I remember getting incredibly hammered and driving across town home. Thank the Supreme Being I never got into an accident o a DUI. Those days are long behind me.
