Not drinking anymore has allowed me to travel the world to five continents, 40 countries, multiple cruises and meet people from all over the world. It's amazing how much money and time you save when you stop drinking, smoking and drugging. It also allowed me to run a small business fixing building repairing houses for over 30 years and save enough money and time and energy to own my own house, multiple vehicles and two other recreational properties.

I still drink milk sometimes though ... just not in public because it makes me fart.

Aye good for you friend! Rereading my comment I realize it probably came off as criticizing your sobriety, so I just wanna clarify I didn't mean that at all! It was just supposed to be a weird joke, like, 'what on earth do you do if not walk around in public all day drinking milk/alcohol?'

But that's fuckin baller, I'm glad you're enjoying your life, it sounds awesome! (And I feel you, I'm lactose intolerant too, so most dairy consumption is done in private XD)

I probably did come off defensive and my apologies as well for any bad feelings .... man I love this community ... thanks for clarifying ... I don't who did right or wrong (or even if anyone did or not) ... all I know is that you made me feel good and I think that's all that matters ... I'll raise a glass of milk to you (I don't think you'll want to sit next to me tho)

I'm amazed by family members, friends, and coworkers that smoke like chimneys. I ask them how much their pack a day habit costs and I'm floored. Even the lower tax native smokes are not cheap.

Then throw in the booze and drugs it's no wonder why they can't afford a lot of basic things. I have a addictive personality at times but thankfully I'm too cheap for those things and would rather travel, own the toys, vehicles etc.

I do have an addiction to sweets and ice cream which gives me the same gas issues.

It's an addiction so the cost is, if not irrelevant, but a mere nuisance. Not a deal breaker in any case.

Thats dope, man, congrats. On the sobriety, not the farting. Im approaching 1yr sober and Ive noticed massive improvements in the quality of my life and my bank balance.
