8. I can go to sleep without a drink.

7. Cinco de Mayo is so totally not an important holiday.

6. I can remember all the words to “Chances Are” by Johnny Mathis.

5. My little voice can actually suggest good things to do.

4. If you ask me why I’m not drinking over and over, I’m perfectly fine with lying to your face.

This top ten list came from a man who I’ll call Ted. My friend Ted is a husband, father, grandfather and hard working professional who is fighting off the” little voice” in his head that loves whiskey. Ted often simply posts top ten lists, that always hit the nail on the head. Sometimes these lists are serious and informative and sometimes very funny, but I know that I would not have gotten through my first alcohol free year with style and a smile if it weren’t for Ted.

When Ted and I parted ways he said that I could publish his posts far and wide on behalf of the Boozemusings Community .

And so I will.

Thank you Ted !
