Quitter

In a way, I am proud and happy for your accomplishments casting off the chains of alcohol and drug dependence. With that in mind, I do have to let you know that your constant running commentary on your recent and present recovery effort is becoming all too boring. Considering most social occasions, or at least any worth mentioning, include some recreational drinking, I really do not want to be made to feel guilty. We are all happy that you are feeling better, but at the same time you are really celebrating the failure to maintain a fairly calm and enjoyable life that includes some social drinking. I'm not sure this is something to take pride in. More like something to recognize and move on. Like losing a limb. We won't point it out, but we notice it immediately and we probably won't engage in much rock climbing together either.
