I just knew he was going to say roofing. That was my trade never much on the drugs but beer was a different story. Started drinking at 16, heavy by 21 and one day when I was 45 and had been through it all I looked into the mirror crying an ocean of tears alone and lost. I said to myself If I'm going to too see 46 I've got to do something and fast. I did that was Aug.26, 1985. To this day I have not even had one smell of liquor. I want to say this I went on to be a major roofing contractor In the Texas panhandle. But I beg of anybody who might read this if you have a problem please do something about it. there's just so much in life besides liquor and drugs.
