Welcome back! I wasn't here in March 09 but I look forward to getting to know you now. Rum was my drink of choice as well. Good for you for throwing away that last inch of your last bottle! I finished mine and held onto the empty bottle (sometimes literally hugged it) for almost three weeks. Just threw it away last night. Although I'm sorry you're having health problems, I'm glad they're motivating you to make a major change. Drinking definitely raises your blood pressure!
