Now when I push a grocery cart past the beer and wine, I just wave and say, "Hi, guys! Bye, guys!"
I also wave at the liquor store whenever I drive past it. "We had fun, Christian Brothers brandy!" It IS delicious stuff.
Early in May, I was on my iPhone in the hospital bed when I told my eldest son to pour half of what was left in a hefty jug of Carlo Rossi red down the drain of my kitchen sink.
Better to be a late night drunk than a complete alcoholic. Had no trouble not taking a drop since. Save at first for some lack of sleep.
During the last couple of weeks, I've been able to drop off into a sleep without an over the counter sleep aid. BTW, Chantix helped me quit a lifetime of smoking during 2012.
So maybe I'll make it to age 80 by next St. Patrick's Day. Shortly after my daughter drove me home from the hospital, I looked up "Death has many doors." That saying goes way back with no known author.
But thanks for telling your situation/resolution, Dino! Appreciate the info!
Lots of guffaws. Thank you, OUC! 👍
