Talking 18 months have passed
And I can honestly say I never want to drink again! I was asked the question if I was given a short amount of time to live, would I drink then and I suprised myself when I replied: "No, I would want to be aware and remember my last little bit of time with my loved ones not being a wasted wreck!" Shocked faces were looking back at me when I looked up!

Thanks so much for your support over the last 18 months.

Congratulations! 18 months is super.

I've pondered that same question. Would I drink if I knew I had limited time remaining. I don't think I would.

Keep going strong.
