Someone the other day described me as 'fun'. I was so worried when I stopped drinking that I wouldn't be any fun anymore. What I've realized is that when I was drinking I was fun at parties (until the moment when I was a gong show), now I am fun the rest of the time. Freedom, right? Have a good 24, all!
