For me, the sober life and life are the same thing ~ which is why for me:
"drink appeal" -->
Note to me: "Watch out."

I don't want to die today, also today I really really don't want to die drunk.

Not too late, gma45. You say:

Yes, it takes maybe more hard work than anything else in life. I harbor a deep suspicious though that it's probably worth more as well.
To me, anyway. We all make choices.
Choices in important ways are what define us, like ...
The choice to live a sober life. WoW. What a choice!

The choice to risk attempting a friendship?
What a choice, what a chance...
... but for you to decide its value for you
