I have plenty of guys I have known for years but not being a drinker just don't have enough in common I guess. The few friends I had moved and eventually lost contact.

I still smoke, but no booze for me. I'd be dead or in prison if I hadn't stopped. Very bad attitude when I got out of the Army in 72...

Alcoholism runs on my dads side of the family and when I actually realized how bad it was I decided to break tradition plus it helped fight the urge of smoking. My family kind of treated me like an outcast when I quit especially my dad.

When I got out in 72, all I wanted to do was drink and fight. Quitting was the best thing I've ever done except marry Melody. Neither one of my kids ever saw me take a drink and neither one of them drink either.
