It simply is not possible, he said, to not drink for 19 years.  It’s
just not possible.  Nobody can do that.  But one day.  Just about any
one can not drink for one day.  So here it is 19 years of one day one
day one day. 

Still the ups and downs throw me around, the doubts, the insufficiencies that hypnotize me.

But
last night, with impossible friends, we celebrated the impossible with
cheering and hugs and kisses and presents.  (I LOVE presents!) to
celebrate that for 19 years, I have not had a drink, thus didn’t need
to be drunk or ruin any families or gete my name in the paper or lose
my job or anything.

I celebrate me today.
