Thank you for sharing your story, I can certainly understand the idea that you want to make changes in your work that are more in-line with your sobriety.

Re: your letter to your employer explaining your decision, I would caution you to be short and sweet. There is nothing inherently wrong with the alcohol you deliver, and you don't want to give the impression that you are "superior" or too good to be involved in such a morally repugnant business as delivering the demon drink.

Just remember you are doing this to protect yourself from your defect.

You probably would have said it just the right way without my unsolicited advice, but I thought it was a good time to amplify my point earlier that we cannot expect other people to change their behavior to fit our new shape, we must either add some new pieces to fill in the gaps, or find a new puzzle to be part of.

Keep it up Rob! I gave up the sauce 10 years ago (08-16-94), and I still go to A.A. meetings. Its good to be around people who've had similar experiences.I love living sober now. When my wife and I go out to eat, there's no drink tab,and we don't argue much any more. Its a wonderful way to live.Also there are so many good things to drink besides alcohol.And most of them will make you healthier,instead of taking a toll, on your body. Write anytime Blaze.

I came to a compromise with the delivery company. I'm going to help them with their spirits for the very busy days of Christmas and New Years Eve, and their going to help me with my Spirit from then on. No more booze deliveries in the new year.

I'm glad it's finally resolved, now I can concentrate on other matters. Like getting off this darn tobacco.
