Ahhh that's why I like the dark best.... more people like the sweeter and lighter kind. When you come from a big family you get to figure out little things....like boxes of chocolates.... :p

Ah, it's Monday. Git some chocolate and curl up with the keyboard. Don't deprive us of the wit and wisdom of Wednesday! ;) (Not bad for so early, eh?)

Thanks Cosmo!

Sounds like a fun plan... Yikes it is early for us west coasters... While I am here...

I wish Canada and her people a good day and good day for the future of the country.

I enjoy beer, really enjoy it, and when my split from the ex was new, I wen t out every night that my son wasn't with me. But I only went blotto once in that time frame.

See, I know that over half of my relatives are alcoholics, and live carefully not to become one. If we have the money for a dozen beer for the week, great, and it does both adults the week, if not, shucks, I'm over it.

I havenèt touched any weed hash etc in a decade, it was a decade my last birthday. I had gotten pretty chronic, and my cousin and I split a gram and a quart of whiskey to celebrate my 17th birthday. Good night, thereès no denying that, but when I found out that I was pregnant a week later, I felt horrible, and was fearful that I had harmed my child throughout the whole pregnancy.

I didnèt, the only thing I may have don is made him to smart for my mental health, but the fear was there. After he was born and weaned, I just decided it wasnèt worth it.

But I still declare, beer with homeade cheeseball is definately worth it...if you only have one or two

Haven't had a drink in a long time. Used to be a crazy party guy. Get pissed up every Fri. night and find a party, take the guitar, stay all night, or until they threw me out on Sunday.

Started drinking during the week. Yep, just a crazy party guy. Finally I told my wife I thought I should quit. She agreed as she was thinking of leaving and had planned to tell me very soon. I had always "thought" I put my family first, but now had to realize I was a selfish prick; not a bad sort of guy, but a selfish prick. Never missed a day's work or an appointment. Never drank on family trips. Would never drive after just one drink; but.........well, just didn't feel very good about myself.

So I quit. And here's the kicker. I NEVER EVER missed it. I was what would be considered a heavy drinker, maybe just on the verge of alcoholism, and I never missed it :!: :!: Still don't.

But, can't be around it. Can't stand drooling drunks getting in your face and all over ya............. Don't even like social drinkers. Can't stand the smell of booze.......... 8O Don't like loud parties. Can't stand crowds. Inside the idiot there was a tight assed WASP waiting to emerge :lol: :lol: :lol:

Also, one doesn't realize or tries to deny how much money it costs to be a boozer. Never been short of cash (relatively speaking) since I quit. Was always broke before.

Life is good. :wink:

You know, oldnugly, it's a damn pleasure having you aboard. Yours is an inspiring story for anybody who has thought they'd like to quit but feels that maybe it will be too hard.

Damn cigarettes. I've smoked since I was 13 almost without break (am now 44). The math isn't good, but I smoke less today than I did when I was a teen (hows that for denial).
