"I never thought I'd be dancing without a drink in my hand...And that's not the only thing...I can do, now that I have two free hands...We've played volleyball, spent the day at the beach, played kick ball, shot pool and attended concerts. I also learned to rollerblade and chair meetings."
Fun in Sobriety, p. 15
