MGM, yes, I am. On'W and me are both alkies. We understand the cultural taboos and dark humor, and adapt accordingly. It's how we survive.

So you won't participate in a birthday thread to offer birthday wishes, but you're happy to do it to criticize the person who started the thread?

Yes

Thank you crackbato...

Well, all-righty then.

Looks just like a bottle of sparkling cider to me - accompaniment of every holiday and birthday in my house growing up, on account of my father’s sobriety.

Anyway, happy birthday Oldr! I want you to know how much I respect your journey - in my family people often dabbled in sobriety, but nobody ever did the work of exploring their reasons for addiction so there was a lot of dry drunkenness which in many ways can be worse than active drinking. I’m so impressed by the work you’ve done and your dedication to your family - I wish you all the best!

I'll drink to that!

Hey, it's comments like this that will force me to abandon my 37 years of sobriety and start self-medicating with alcohol again. Then you'd be sorry.

Words and pictures are the devil's workshop.

NOOOoooo... for the love of God, please stop. My hand is now wrapped around a bottle of Jack and thisclose to my lips.

Jack? You really must hate yourself.
