I will say never get too comfortable. I began drinking when I was in high school and my young adult years involved alcohol most days. I got married at the age of 26 and had one more drunken night about a month after that. I realized I didn't want to raise a family that way. I didn't have another drink for over twenty five years. My three daughters to this day have never seen their father drink. A few years ago after the last one had moved off to college I decided one day when I was shooting pool with some friends I could have a drink. It had been over 25 years, I'm not an alcoholic. Wrong, once an alcoholic always an alcoholic. Within a year of those couple of drinks I was back to a bottle a day. I have been quit for 262 days now. All I need is one drink to start the vicious cycle all over because I'm still an alcoholic. My only chance is to never drink that first drink again.
