I watched my father do himself in with booze. So anytime I hear about someone choosing to give it up to feel the full range of emotions, I stand and cheer wholeheartedly.

I’m thinking you’re brave and daring on a daily basis. And my guess is you’ve been doing it unknowingly and successfully for a very long time. Why stop now?

[thunderous applause!!]

Congratulations this decision! Enjoy all the feels.
