It took me 20 years to finally get out on my own and by then I was getting sober. Maybe those events are possibly related!Just Another Sober Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14850531488095008131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-49064377312682061652009-11-23T19:38:00.929-07:002009-11-23T19:38:00.929-07:00we love our beach meetings.

I know there's some really good times back there and I'd love to remember them instead but what I see at this moment is the confusion, heartache, loneliness and isolation (even in the bar crowd).<br /><br />Probably good to remember, but not comfortable.<br /><br />Blessings and aloha...Ed G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15063291064985198651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16472085.post-10384842858216813212009-11-19T07:38:48.489-07:002009-11-19T07:38:48.489-07:00I was pregnant and 5 yrs sober at 21...

I looked 14 at the time, I don't know how he bought it. On my 21st birthday, I told him the truth, and at 1:00 am, after the bar closed, all of the employees (including myself and the very rotund manager) took turns drinking and streaking.<br /><br />I have to believe you streaked at least once.
