Went to hear the Detroit Symphony Saturday night [View all]

The reason I'm mentioning it is because my wife and I are donors. And with our donation (it's not really a huge amount), we have access to the Donor Lounge. Which means an open bar. Before I quit drinking I used to get totally shit-faced on wine. Looking back, it's kind of funny. When I'd get a to-go cup to take to my seat, I'd have the bartender fill up a 16 oz. beer cup. I've been sober for 6 years now and at first I hated going to the lounge. These days I just get a cranberry juice on the rocks. My wife drinks so basically I'm the DD.

I'm just really lucky I never got a DUI or in an accident. Wow! Happy to be sober.

If I can do it, you can too!
