Ford Sr. similarly managed to beat a problem with alcohol: After years of hard drinking, he just stopped one day in 1965.

That's how I quit. I was a case per day drinker and just made a decision and toughed it out. Its been a decade since I quit. I think a fair number of people quit that way.

“...just made a decision and toughed it out...”

God bless. Good job. Stay with it.

It isn’t easy. My father in law was sober 17 years, and every day was a struggle. But he helped other people as well, did the AA meetings, was a friend to people that needed a friend.

He was a genuinely decent man, and just had some tough breaks in life. But he put the bottle down and became a stronger person as a result.

We all take damage in our run through life; it’s how we deal with that damage that matters - and sometimes, the choices we make make the damage worse.
