What happened to the boy that got everything he ever wanted?

He lived happily ever after.

That's from willy wonky. That line stuck in my head from the first time I heard it as a kid.

What if the only thing this boy wants at 46 is to never have to worry about drinking again.

Will I also live happily ever after?

I think so. I know so.

Not drinking or drugging is not a fairy tail. It's painfully real. And the one thing I desire. Everything in my life hinges on this one thing.

The contrast of drinking to not drinking. Babbling fool to just a fool.

In my opinion, happily ever after is way undersold. I convinced myself its not possible but yet as each passing sober day comes and goes its right there in front of me.

That's pretty awesome!

I used to dream of what life would be like when I got sober.
So...it's nothing like that - LOL - but it's better.

I've gained gifts and benefits - and growth - I not could even begin to imagine when I was still drinking...

I definitely do think it's happily ever after Ken

You are so right that is pretty awesome and the old timers tell me it only gets better. I have always said, "If this was as good as it got I could live with that." Getting better? I do not know if I can stand that

Glad to hear that! I have high hopes as change continues.

I like that post Weasel. Very much so. I might have it as my epitaph: ....and she lived happily ever after.
