Being my 20th wedding anniversary today, I was looking back at other big milestones in my life.

Doing the math, as I do, I realized that yesterday was 10,000 days since I stopped drinking.
So, today is 10,001 days without a drink.
That's not bad.

10,001 days - that's great!

Was it a problem for you before you gave it up Frank?

That's a matter of perspective.

It wasn't a problem for me...

OK, that time I got drunk and fell on my face, split my chin open and broke four teeth that still bother me now was a bit of a problem.

But, mostly, it was a lot of fun. For me.

Finally it was pointed out to me that it wasn't fun for those around me. And, I stopped.

I wish others could see things when they are told by others like you did and realise that maybe the behaviour isn't right for them and those they care about around them ...

It took my (now) wife saying "when you drink you become another person. I don't like that person."

As I wanted, and still want, my wife to like me, it made me think about it.

And, I decided not drinking was the best way to do that.

Don't get me wrong. I still want to drink. I do remember the fun I had.
And, there have been times I've been very, very tempted.

But, it comes back to wanting to be a person my wife likes...

Again, if only some people were that aware of their behaviour and how it affects the other people in their lives ...

You are a good person Frank.
