Coincedence?
After over 43 years of drinking I celebrated one full year of sobriety on March 21st of this year.

That is the longest I have been sober since I began drinking in my late teens.

I just returned from a part of town where my (used to be) favorite bars are located and noticed that a couple are no longer in business.

Coincedence? I don't think so.

It is unbelievable the amount of money I have saved in the last year.

Imagine if I had quit decades ago.

Just another benefit of sobriety!

Congratulations on the year.

I don't believe in coincidences. So I agree with you.

Another COINCIDENCE -

I've been in the publishing business for over forty years.

Proofreading has always been one of my responsibilities.

Sobriety does not eliminate typos.

Even after proofing my post three times I still managed to mispell COINCIDENCE - twice!

I'd still rather be sober.

Well done MiguelTejas !

It's good to see you still have that obsessive-compulsive thing working for you. Couldn't do the job without it.


I myself have 40+ years to clean up.
