Hi and welcome Zuzu . Conratulations on your decision to stop drinking. You can eat your birthday oysters without wine and you can eat them with pride and excitement for a wonderful new alcohol free life.

Hi ZUZU,

I quit drinking and stayed sober with the program of AA the year I turned 48. This was in 1988. I also went back to college after a year of sobriety and started a new career at the age of 50.

I am so proud of you....that you have made this very important decision. I did it...you can do it.
