[QUOTE="WhatTheFrog, post: 2738580, member: 72886"] We're starting to get pretty personal, but I'm willing to indulge for now. Alcohol has become an issue for me. A long time ago, actually. Nothing is legally mandated and I'm under no court order to dry up or anything like that. It's just time for me to make a change before I destroy the things I cherish. I've been pushing the envelope for a while. It's just time for me to stop. Today is my birthday and I'm getting old (my apologies to the REALLY old people here, haha). I want to see quite a few more of these things. If I don't stop, there won't be many more of these in my future. I'm an alcoholic. That first drink gets me every time. I'm not proud of that, though I used to wear my "drinking abilities" as a sort of badge of honor. Go big or go home, right? I've been that way my whole life. I'm just glad that I didn't pick up drugs. I'd surely be dead by now. I've always avoided them because I know myself and that would be a sure recipe for disaster. I'm still a nicotine addict, so Copenhagen and cigars are welcome, if you so choose to wish me a happy birthday. :) Again, I don't intend to hijack this thread. I get the jist of it and the spirit it was posted in. I'm not trying to put a damper on it or change its course. Other people can handle their drinking. I get that. I can go to PMs to discuss if anyone wants to. There might be that one other person here that needs to know that someone else knows how they feel and can relate. That's why I put my stuff out there. I'm not proud, but I'm working on things and will commiserate with others in the same boat. [/QUOTE]
