And your T-shirt read "will trade life for beer drinker"? No offense-- all really funny things have tragedy in them...'tis why we laugh (so we don't cry). I'm only at the beginning of the surgery to remove my still-drunk partner from my life. I'm an alcoholic too if I drink so I don't. Our stories probably end in similarity with life before but the mid and aftermath is playing out the same. I'm spending a lot more time on this side lately and commend you all on your struggles and victories. Congrats.
