Default 33 Seasons , the Chargers and the Pittsburgh Steelers

I celebrated my belly birthday and my sober and clean 33rd anniversary with my girl, who has 22 years sobriety, in a Sports Bar watching football on January 3rd. We were in Eugene, OR, where she spoke in front of 1,400 people at the Western Area Confernece of Youth in AA the night before.. Neither of us drink. She doesn't enjoy football, but loves me more than anything. We were staying @ the Hilton, that did not have my favorite team on TV in the room or in the lounge. It's the end of the season... She suggested we go to a place that had the game on..THAT IS TRUE LOVE..

I will watch Football today, and she knows I won't be drinking, but will be jumping up and down and yelling anyway. Growing up near Pittsburgh, the Steelers were GOD's and we celebrated by toasting them, again and again. A habit I took to heart, and enjoyed at the expense of family, friends and work. Drinking took me away from the day to day.

Today, No beer in hand cheering for my favorite team. My friends won't be getting another keg. No drunken weaving on the road home from those party days and nights.

I will watch Football today and remember the game. I will cheer for my team, be with sane friends, and drive home, not get a DUI, or kill an innocent person.

I will watch football today, and celebrate 33 years of being sober and clean and cheer for the San Diego chargers..

and my girl loves me and knows I love her more than football (even if I only talk at 1/2 time). It's good to be free of and just play
