21 years sober this month

The sad thing about alcohol is even though I haven't had a drink in 39 years it continues to negitivly affect my life, and I absolutly hate it!

My wife's drinking was a huge factor in ruining our marriage. I have walked away from friends because of their drinking habits. My son went off the rails for a few years with drinking. After I divorced and started dating again I realized so much of today's lifestyles involve drinking that I was a social outcast. My siblings still deal with alcoholism and it's affects.

I f**king hate alcohol.

Thank you. I was hard initially because I had to change my whole lifestyle. Everything I done, everywhere I went, there was alcohol. So to stay away from that meant giving up my "drinking buddies"
I went out into the Aussie bush instead. Been going out there ever since and totally love the seclusion - and the critters.
