Reminds me of a friend of mine-the liquor store owner at one of the stores I bought my booze. And I bought a lot of booze there.
We were good friends. He even let me run a tab there. So, one day we're talking and I mentioned I'd thought I was drinking to much and would like to quit.
He reaches into his pocket and throws this odd looking quarter on the counter. I look at it and it says '25 years'.
I asked him what it was and he told me he's been in sober in AA for 25 years. Blew my mind.
Goes to show, you just never know.
