All I focus on is what do I have to do today to not have a drink? Because, and I've said this a million times, if I had to think, you know, 20 some years down the road, I hope it's 20 some years down the road, but when my daughter gets married, that I can't toast with a glass of champagne at her wedding, or when my kids get older and they leave the house and my wife and I are either on vacations together or sitting in our backyard together or things like that. I can't enjoy a glass of wine with my wife. I can't do that. I'll never have another beer at a Yankee game. I'll never do stuff like that again.
