J.D., I'm a little late (on account of the fact that I'm sicked up with feckig flu lol) but better late than never huh?
Congratultions on 2 years of teetotalling! Indeed, you should celebrate and with vigor!
I'm also very impressed that you can still go out with your mate who still drink and not be tempted or judge them. This is a very big thing. You sound very level headed and very comfortable with you you have become.
Please keep up the good work and enjoy your new take on life.
My father was an alcoholic, his father was and my mother's father was so we have a predisposed genetic link to alcoholism in my family. I know that nothing is worth putting my family through what I grew up with as a kid so I respect anyone who makes the choice to become a better person.

I think anyone should save an animal whenever possible. My little (getting fat) Lucy is a rescue dog. She was emaiciated when I got her, now, she bordering on "pig" because I hate to see her hungry for a second. Now I have to adjust my attitude.
As for shot peening, I'm sure you will find many worthy. LOL
