20 or 21 Years Sober
On February 12, 2008, I think I was sober for either 20 or 21 years.

Wow, for 21 years I was not a jerk, at least not an alcohol induced jerk

Please, no congrats are in line, it is not an accomplishment; nobody should be rewarded in any way for not being a jerk. What I am happy about is being a good boy for 21 years.

However, I know many people on planet earth that was never an alcohol induced jerk. When I drank, I thought everyone drank, and I truly believed anyone who did not drink was a jerk. Wow, what a stupid idea.

I remembered the other day that my sobriety day was coming up; however, I am not good at year things. I called my mother to ask, and she just emails back to say 21, I hope she is right.

However, the truth is, I do not revel in the time, because I do not want to remember I was a jerk 21 years ago. I do like to remember the 21 years of being a good boy. I would not like someone up and say, congratulations,

- Hey Andy, you stopped being Jerk 21 years ago. Attaboy. -

I am still waiting for someone to congratulation me for being a good boy. When I behave, do all the right things, nobody comments. So really when a person acts like a jerk, do not give them sympathy, go over and give them a whack on the head. Pretend and remember they are dog, they need a smack. People are animals too, giving them a good hard smack on the head with a stick would maybe help. I cannot remember any loving words that stopped me from drinking; I can still feel the pain caused by the legal system of the USA. House arrest for a year, 10 years of no driving, a painful experience.

I guess I should thank the Legal System of the USA for changing my life, a groups that did not mix their words.

Hey all of you, pet you alcoholic animal on the head, the hit him or her on the head with a 2 by 4.

If you really want to hurt King Baby Alcoholic, ignore him or her.

People who don't drink are not to be trusted. Alcohol brings out the basest, most primal version of ourselves. It's like truth serum for the personality and if a person is too uncomfortable to reveal that part of themselves, if they don't trust themselves with their innermost being, why should you trust them?
