Angd - I'm sorry for your health issues, but glad they serve as an incentive to stay sober. Life is a lot easier to face sober. Keep up the good work.
Mets - It sounds like you've got a good sober routine going. Keep up the good work, and keep remembering why you're doing it - and that there's no going back to moderation.
Where I live in CT the loyalty is divided between NY and Boston teams. My parents are NY fans and my husband and kids are Boston fans. I bet if I grew up going to games I'd care but they are two hours in either direction.
