Yes, I smoked for years and just the thought of a cigarette can trigger the urge. I know people that have quit but can have one every now and then. I cannot, total abstinence is the only way I can keep the cravings at bay. I like bourbon and wish I could have a cigar with a pour but I know better. Alcohol
however doesn't have the same hold on me. I can drink or not drink, no issue. I have gambled in the past but recognized that I enjoyed it a little too much so I steer clear of it.

Sidicous,
Pretty sure we are related. Can be no coincidence that I have an Uncle Jr that did the same thing. Jr had 2 sisters I am the youngest ones only son.

Going to my 40th in a couple weeks. We have one every 10 years. My family moved away right after I graduated so I enjoy going back to see old friends. Went to a very small school so it is always a relaxed low key event

I have seen them 3 times and am going to see them play the Ryman in June. Really looking forward to that.

I am a man but my MIL was exactly what you described and consequently so my wife. Wondeful in alot of ways but she does not enjoy kitchen duties. I love to create dishes tfrom scratch so do the meal planning and cooking. I pour myself a drink turn on some music and she sit nearby and we talk about our day. She handles the cleanup afterwards. We are empty nesters so it's just the two of us.

The Outlaw Josey Whales. If I run across it while channel surfing I am there until it is over. Also love Bridge over the River Kwai.

She lives less than a mile from me. I can absolutely confirm she is bat*hit crazy. Also substance dependent.

Yes, I have seen them live twice and they put on a good show. They are one of my spotify go to's.

North East Mississippi, had 7 or so, down to just a couple now.
