I don't drink anymore and its a good thing ,we didn't need much of an excuse for a celebration
We had all the bars we played in trained to keep wine and 7 up on hand for the rare occasions the band drank wine ,,even Champagne
I hate a wine hang over worst of all
I had no switch ,,if I drank one drink of anything
It was on until I passed out ,,and if it was "Wine deal" day
Oh how the next day sucked
have one for me
I am sure your better at moderation then I ever was

@Fauxmyope2 it has ,,,my kids think I am super man
they have never seen me drunk or high ,,,,,,I had a drug problem too
I have been clean and sober 24 yrs ,,I am much happier without it

I would have never been able to help my kids accomplish all the things they have done had I still had those habits

I worked non stop to not only have everything everyone else has
But I had to work twice as hard to support my habits
Work free alcohol into our pay so we did not owe bars after we played all night

I did much better as a solo act without the band later on
for a long time I was no longer cool with any of my friends so I relapsed

But the last time was for good ,,I no longer desire to drink
but I never judge people that do ,,I know I have drank my share
they are just trying to catch up

@rckt148 Thank you for doing that for you, your kids, family and friends. You have made a very positive difference in our world as a result. I hope that you serve as an inspiration for others and have helped at least one other to lift themself up in one way or another.

@Fauxmyope2 I am now able to inspire winners who go onto college and make something of themselves ,until my kids my cousin was the only one to go to college ,,but her parents both worked for NASA and my uncle was a mayor
Now I have helped many go to college ,working on a few more and steer them away from drugs and alcohol ,they enjoy being public servants ,there they get to see the long tern effects of abuse and the people that have lost it all over health problems ,,,and they have me ,a walking medical encyclopedia ,hands on me and other ,not book smart
I wanted other to have the chances I never had
Had anyone cared ,,,I may have picked a better life
My kids nor my Grandkids have that excuse ,they have all had the best I can give them ,,,,and an example of how much easier it is ,if you take a different path
Thank you for your kindness ,,,its always refreshing and appreciated
