Itchy and Ron, I don't know how you do it. It is not the having it around as a temptation that bothers me. I was able to not drink when he did. It was having to deal with him drinking. I just couldn't stand it when I got sober before. The only way I enjoy his company is if I am drinking along side him. I think I would enjoy his company if he were sober beside me even better, but I may never get to find that out.
