One thing you really notice when you quit drinking is how much time you have for others. This weekend I had a wonderful time with my grandchildren. We went to the amazing Romney Hythe and Dymchurch railway on the Kent coast. We stayed in a camp site, we had a fire and toasted marshmallows, we swam in the sea and played on my kayak, both children had a go steering my land rover round the field, we had stories and games and then on the way home we went strawberry picking. When I used to drink I remember being too busy to do all these sorts of things, or finding that next pub got in the way. The sheer delight of being able to dedicate my time and attention to these two most special of little people is hard to describe. Why waste your time on booze when you can have so much else to live for.
