That's a good question. I quit in 2008 and I often wonder why I still find the topic so interesting to talk about. I drank for over 3 decades, lived thru the good, bad and ugly sides of it all and don't see the point in trying to act like that part of my life never happened. It would be cool to see how others feel about it.
