I don't miss any of those things in my life. I understand my experiences with alcohol in my family life aren't necessarily those of the majority, but it most certainly shaped my view.

As I grew older, my stance was easily adapted into my religious views as well.

Last note: I don't look down my nose at Lathum or anyone that does drink. I did so, mistakenly, to try and save a marriage that wasn't worth saving. It's your choice.

Okay, besides Lathum, I don't look down my nose at anyone.
