Thanks for this compelling essay. If you haven’t done so, listen to “The High Cost of Loving” by Country singer Jamey Johnson. The refrain is

“The high cost of living

Ain’t nothing like the cost of living high”

Congratulations on your years of sobriety. I gave up alcohol two years ago but that was because of a medical condition. Fortunately I was not an alcoholic so it was easy. My wife, also not an alcoholic, had to give it up due to a serious medical condition. Our wine cellar is gathering cobwebs!

I bet it is! And I do know that song - it's quite something.

Glad you enjoyed!
