I'm glad that you mentioned the shows and people being sober. My one fear is that I do a lot of social events and I don't know how I'm going to handle it. Drinking always took the "edge" off but now I'm starting to realize that drinking is what created that "edge" in the first place. Having a clear mind and conscience thought is where I want to be and I was never able to accommplish that because it was always clouded by alcohol.

Once again, I'm glad that I have someone that I respect to lean on and talk to...it really does help. A lot! Thanks!
