I like the way you put that, Al. I don't drink anymore. It's a decision that's final, over and done. Excellent!
Have you got a plan about the rest of the stuff? Drinking takes up a huge amount of time and energy, and quitting leaves a lot of space that will need some filling, that's what I found anyway. I also found that much of the stuff I filled in with were things I had to give up in order to drink. It's been a win win win situation for sure.
