Well today is the 15th anniversary of me giving up alcohol.
I can honestly say that I have not been tempted once to drink and I still have an active social life that includes visiting licencesed premises and not being tempted.
I retired a year early from the Civil Service last year at age 59 after 37 years and I was 60 on the 13th October and have claimed my free OAP bus pass.
However this year has not been good to me health wise as I have had 3 kidney operations in 3 months - 2 on my left kidney to remove kidney stones and the last one was on my right kidney to remove a tumour.
The operation on my right kidney was done by robotic keyhole surgery so it looks like I have been bitten by a shark :) - I am now not in pain though , but have to waut another 4 weeks for the biopsy result.
Keep strong everyone and I send you all my best wishes to keep fighting the good fight !.
