... well not of booze any way . Drank a bunch of coffee and my favorite milk . I can remember my first drink of beer that got me drunk . I was about 14 or 15 . Myself and two buddies from the neighbor hood gathered our beers or booze and hung out at the tennis courts to drink that night . I don't think I got drunk again for maybe a year and at that time did it several times in a few months . About a year out of high school I was drinking on a daily basis . By my late twenties I was drinking in the morning some days . By my late thirties I was drinking around the clock everyday . At each stage I thought I would not and could not behave like I did in the next stage .Every time it got worse I would think it cant get worse than this . Of course it did . That 16 year old boy had no idea what his drinking would lead to , being connected to a bottle 24 hours a day .
Those last couple of years of constant drinking had me thinking it would not be any different . I thought how could I possible change now . I had done too much and could not ever get back to being sober . It just seemed so impossible . And even if I could get sober how could I live a life like that ? What would I possible do ? I knew of nothing else . Well I am here to tell you it is possible . I have more things to do than I have time for . My latest kick is flying helicopters . I have so many things to do there is no time for getting drunk .
I have not had a drink today , I am sober and very happy .
Love you , Jaybird
