Explorer, I hope you do not think I was putting you down about drinking. I guess you can say I am a "recovering" ex-smoker. I can go no where in life and not breath in some ones smoke. I made up my mind 7 years ago to stop a 30+ year habit. No one can make me smoke but my self. I will not do that to my self. Putting all differences aside on this board, I know that if I were ever at a gathering and some one on here who knows me saw me put a cigarette in my mouth, it would take a split second for some one to snatch it out of my mouth. We are all here for each other. No one would encourage you to drink. They would stand proudly behind your conviction not to drink. who knows, maybe you would be a goog example for some one else struggling. Just don't be so defensive and put up a wall. I have done that in the past and it is painful, but never again. Just Breath and let the Sunshine into your life.
