okay, I must confess. I rounded up when I said I got drunk 10,000 times. It was more in the neighborhood of 9500. But as I was going over it, something new came up. I remember being held for public drink when I was 16. My parents were out of town and my cousin had to drive from another town to come and get me out.
The more I recall about my life the sadder it gets.
The good news is that I have another 40 (?) left to enjoy. I may live to be 100!
I spoke to an uncle today who just celebrated 92 years. He still drives and is sharp as a tack. My mom only made it to 91.
The bottom line is Member, if you stop drinking now and stay stopped it will definitely get better.
