.................Ali.................

Not just good for you, but GREAT for you! That's a tough one to kick......perhaps the toughest of all. I salute you for your willpower. But as you mentioned, without Him, nothing is possible!

Hey thanks Rusty. I don't normally participate in the "spirited" conversations here but as a sober person, I sure do get tired of people insulting others dealing with addiction. I'm 6 years sober this august(by the grace of God) and alcoholism has affected every male on my dads side for generations. I have discussed addiction via PM with various members here and on moparts and people should realize that there are a lot of people dealing with this issue and belittling, insulting and judging them is a really negative/counterproductive thing to do. I'm not trying to start anything or argue with anyone, just throwing it out there. I implore you guys to be careful when posting here. I have a few friends who are no longer with us due to this issue(I don't care what you want to call it, disease or otherwise). Sorry for the rant and the hi-jack. Now back to arguing if Ali was a bum or not......
