    Much respect! I did the same thing a couple years ago. Went through some stuff that would not have happened if I wasn't drinking. I still drink from time to time but it is not very often and I don't drink much when I do.

    Best wishes for you Will!! I wish my sister had a fraction of the amount of brains you have. My dad is trying to enjoy the last few days he has left on this earth and my sister had to ruin things last night by being drunk and starting a fight with me. I had to leave my dad's place early, to avoid a Domestic situation. Wouldn't have looked good on my behalf. Alcoholics, in my opinion, can destroy families.
