Although I haven't drank in years, I used to be a J.D. drinker.
I invented a drink when I was in the army. Fill a blender with ice. Pour in a pint of vodka. Then, take 1/2 a can of frozen concentrated pink lemonade and drop it on top. Blend, grind, crush, whatever, until you have a slushy consistency. I called it a Pink Floyd.

I haven't touched alcohol for over 3 1/2 years. And yes, to quell any speculation, I am an alcoholic. The day I hit another car with mine was the day I realized I could actually hurt someone else besides myself. I haven't had a drop since.
I miss it sometimes. Not getting drunk, mind you, but the activity of drinking. It was something to do. I drank by myself, of course. I am solitary by nature, that hasn't changed. That's why I like it here at MB. Not to upset anyone, but this is where I can speak to people on my own terms. No one can invade my space, unless I choose to let them. That's why I don't own a cell phone. Where I am and what I'm doing is my business, and it offends me to think someone can just call me, where ever I might be, whether I want them to or not. Anyway, about the drinking, I went to AA for about six months. It got to where I couldn't stand it. The same people with the same complaints, day in and day out. "Oh, I wanted to drink so bad today!". They were sober, but still worshipping alcohol, you know? I was like, when are you going to take your life back? When I quit, I was an alcoholic first and foremost. But, there comes a point where you have to stop letting alcohol control who you are. I evolved from alcoholic, into father, husband, son, brother, coworker, and, oh yeah, I also can't drink because once I start, I can't stop. You see what I mean? You have to be a person first eventually, or you will live your life in the most miserable way possible: an alcoholic that can't think of anything else but the fact that they can't drink.

^ I'm really glad to hear you were the bigger person and got through that. It takes a lot of will power. If only we could get through to the other alcoholics out there!
I personally enjoy Jack Daniels, Jim Beam, Southern Comfort, and Candian Club. I'm a whiskey/bourbon kind of girl.

When the reality is, You know, I hadn't even thought about drinking for months until you brought it up. LOL. Besides, the meeting closest to my house is always when my kids have a game. Priorities, you know. Hmmm.....do I want to watch my kids play ball...or let's see....go listen to a bunch of people I don't know sing their misery out long and loud?
