Funny - that is exactly how I pictured Dee to look like
And Soberwolf, there is a guy in my AA meetings that in my mind you look like, and in my head his nickname is Soberwolf.
Now, on to my Sober Date Partner, Barnumb - I am so proud of you. You and I are so similar in so many ways. I have realized my mid life "crisis" in turning 40 this year is not a crisis at all. It is a "realization". I too realized that the boozing days had to come to an end. That I have tested the limit so many times. That I can not stop at one. That I have an amazing family that loves me. That I have a legacy to share with my son's and damn if it is going to be their mother is a wino.
Happy Thanksgiving to you, you deserve happiness and a sober celebration with your family. Enjoy. I will raise a glass of sparkling diet coke to you on Thurs from up North
