- After being a regular drinker for more than 30 years I made the decision of quitting alcohol for at least 12 months. Now 90 days into my challenge there are lots of changes to my life, all of which are positive.

Just over twenty two years sober here never looking back. Different life for sure but so worth it for me
Amazing, proper amazing 💪
Just watched a vid of your's from 2017(Worst hangover)...i have to say you both look a lot healthier today. *thumbs up to you both*
Crazy days them, crazy days Paul.
I can count on my fingers how many drinks I’ve had this year, life’s great 👍🏼 thanks for sharing
Awesome stuff Robert 💪💪💪
Your channel just popped up on my homepage. Congratulations on giving up the booze. 4 years myself. Wishing you both all the best Ryan 🙏🙏
Top man Ryan - you two have a lot in common. Looking forward to a collab at some stage (maybe your garden will ‘pick up a bit’.....555)
The last time I reached out to do a collab, Bruce Willis didn't even have the decency to reply to my email ☝️
Nice one Ryan, glad you've found us. Four years seems such a long way off for me at the moment. I suppose we never know where this journey ends, if at all. I'll check out your videos on the recommendation of Vince. He is an impeccable good judge of character 😂
@@ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand good luck my friend, it gets easier and better each year! Can be boring at first but that passes 🙏🙏🙏
24 years without alcohol never looked back
Wow John 😲
Well done! Good to know it's going well for you! :-)
Thanks for your support David 💪
Gave up the same day as you . Still never touched a drop. Keep at it mate and I will follow you. Andy from Gateshead
Awesome stuff Andy 💪
Leigh, you seem to be getting in touch with your essential Leighness. Physiology, psychology, heredity and a host of other factors (not all of which end in "y") contribute. It's very good that you can sit back and be an observer of these things. It's a pleasure keeping up, even though I don't have a dog in the race, really, with my own self. I have thought, from the beginning, that this has been a good choice and each new update makes me think so more. Do good.
Super comment as always FT. Loved the 'dog in the race' the best 👍👍👍
I watched a few of your vids a year or so ago. Just watched a few today and was really amazed by how much better you both look and sound. Well done, mate!
That's lovely for us to hear thank you Philip. Although we're totally shattered, we're much healthier overall 👍
Thanks Lee always enjoy your videoes that was a meaining full one . keep up the good spirt and have fun
Cheers Bamspapa, much appreciated 👍
nice one Leigh, glad things are going good for you. btw where i come from we call what Toon did 'talking to Ralph on the big white phone". lol
I've not heard that one for many many years 😂
I believe that some people need to get a good health scare out of their drinking or smoking to make them quit.
Keep up the good work Leigh.
I'm sure that's right for many many people Phyllis. If doctors told us that we had to stop drinking or smoking or we'd be dead in a month, well I reckon 99% of us would find the willpower to quit there & then.
Thanks for sharing with us these stories. It was brave of you to talk about your dad. My dad also drinks almost every night and during some days too. Alcohol is truly poison for society at large despite some people consider it not bad for having fun in small amounts but the damage it has had for society is too dear. No one planned to become an alcoholic but a large portion of people have been damaged from alcohol consumption of themselves or loved ones. I would go far to say it is a good thing to ban it, although I know it wouldn't work.
I remember being told at school about the dangers of drugs. A shame the dangers about alcohol weren't included. I don't know if it's because drinking is a long standing cultural thing, or maybe because governments raise huge amounts in taxes.
@@ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand You are right. Probably because of the heavy tax that government puts on alcohol and I would say the alcohol lobby wouldnt like that either. There should be teaching at school about the dangers of alcohol and sigar too.
@@ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand
Funny enough the alcohol industry spent a lot of money on those anti drug programs, they don’t like the competition.
This is really brilliant
Thank you Pat. Appreciate that 👍
Congratulations on 3 months Leigh 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 for me that first few months was the hardest, and then my birthday, it was the first time in 15 years I had been sober on my birthday. Like I said before I was a teetotaler for 8 years and still only have 1 or 2 on occasion and that is usually with my dinner. Keep up the great work, you are looking great 👍🏼
Many blessings to you both 🙏🏼
Thank you so much SiF. Hope things are well at your end.
It's hard just to enjoy alcohol on occasion when you've come from drinking all the time.
I couldn't agree more with that statement Peter. Whether it's the same for everyone who's been a regular as clockwork drinker I don't know. But it's definitely applicable to me ☝️
25 years sober after being a real piss head, best thing i ever did. Well done mate, keep up the good work.
WOW 25 years. Thanks for your support Biker Pops.
Great stuff mate
I am still off it too
Don’t even think about it now
Excellent excellent news David. Chuffed for you.
I for one am so proud of you as you should be for yourself. Bloody great mate,,Like the Tshirt. Hahahaha. Great job bud..
Thanks John. Credit has to go to my big sister Sam. She's bought me some classics over the years 👍
🤣It just come to me...... The very first bar I drunk at in Thailand was called ONE MORE 🤣🤣 the bastards got me
Great name for a bar that. One 4 the road would be awesome. I'd of felt compelled to pop in there for my last pint of the night 😉
"If we're drinking, we're drinking.".
The waste of $6 per beer with dinner and only have 2 - $12 wasted.
Spend $60 and get value.
Thanks for your vids; a clever and honest man.
Yep, usually having two beers was just getting into it ☝️
Congratulations 👏
Thank you TN 👍
Got my first hangover of the year after lockdown rules allowed a group of 6 in the garden. Lovely sunshine yesterday for it and really enjoyed a few beers but after 3 months without alcohol our 8 hour session has really left it’s toll😢 I can’t see you going back to drinking after 12 months, your situation is perfect for alcohol free life. The benefits are clear.
Hey 3 months mate, that's a really good break for you & your liver. An 8 hour session is a marathon after that length of break.
I really don't know if I'll ever drink again. I never thought that I'd even be contemplating that!
@@ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand I’ve been contemplating it for a few years. Getting closer to reality now. The sun is out this morning again and Da said “BBQ again?” F@@k that, I’m not drinking today” she didn’t answer.
Good on you Leigh, I have done similar, changes the mindset and I agree it makes you ask the question do I need it?
I am now a once a week drinker and I don't drink beer anymore, 1 bottle of wine!
My father and alcohol had a massive effect on my family, you described my young life, very similar
Nice one Phil I always partial to a nice Australian Shiraz 😋
I have noticed the videos are a bit shaky,but well done Leigh
Maybe withdrawal symptoms 😂
when i gave up drinking heavily i lost weight too . it was then i realized i could see both ends of my manhood
Me too. It was a pleasant suprise to find that I had 9" & not 4" lol.
I must be deformed, I only have one end to my manhood 🤔
@@ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand
I never want to see the other “end” of my manhood, that means I’ve had a tragic accident or really pissed off a Thai lady 😉
My problem was it was always an all nighter once it started....never pretty in the end but those days are gone now thankfully....and yes u can be a weekend warrior....it’s debilitating in the end as well...but the faithful will survive...
Weekend Warrior...love that saying 👍👍👍
V well done on the 3 months , Im with you on the if there’s 3 bottles I will drink them , and probably walk down to the offie to buy some more. I don’t really have an off switch. Just had my first test , lockdown easyin a little in the UK. You can go to a friends house, 6 outdoor. That was Friday no booze 🥃. The next is the 12th April which is the pub, again outside . I think I will succeed, as I sit here with ginger , turmeric and galangal bru in hand . Enjoyed the vlog
I reckon your tests are harder to overcome than mine Mark. Together with mates at a pub would be really hard for me. If you get through that you'll have the willpower to go on as long for as you want 💪
Been off it 2 years and went out just before the 3rd lockdown had a few beers and honestly the next day I never even gave it thought about wanting another beer and I'd been drinking for 36 plus years without a break I can take it or leave it and to be honest I'd rather leave it doesn't bother me any more keep going m8
That's a big turn around matey 💪
Think of the progression of your drinking I'm willing to bet it started as once in awhile to Friday nights to Friday and occasionally Saturday then every weekend then every weekend and maybe once after work through the week to almost everyday and if you were like myself everyday. I know after 10 years I could probably get away with 1 beer once but then that thought of getting away with having one would play on my mind and the next time it might be 2 or 3 and eventually I will be back to the above progression only accelerated . Whenever I get the thought of drinking or using drugs again I always play this progression out in my head and it always will end the same. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and expecting different results when I was using I was insane now that I'm not I'm still insane but not quite as bad as before lol Congrats on 3 months Leigh thats a big milestone and accomplishment
Brilliant comment thanks yeti. That's a good insight, most of which I certainly relate to 👍
well done , on a different subject if you own a farm in Thailand do you have to pay like we have in the UK council tax ?
Yep there's annual tax we have to pay for our farm but it's less than 1,000 tbh per year. I think it's about 600 regardless of what the farm makes, or loses.
Well done! one of the main things i miss, whilst in thailand is a decent beer
A late friend of ours out here managed to find a decent German beer out here. It was out of a can but it was a good one. I can't remember the name but it was a dark bronze colour can.
@@ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand yeah there are a few good imports around and there used to be a few good craft small breweries such as the place next to the ugly american hotel in Hua Hin But then the 2 big thai brewers made a "donation" to the loving government, who closed them down, make it illegal and shoved 300% import tax on other beers - good luck with the challenge
I only buy one case of beer a month. Tend to smash it in one weekend.
Then dry until next month.
Following your challenge I now spread the case over 3 weekends rather than one.
Managing to make a case of beer last three weeks is no mean feet... I'm not sure I could do that.
Still good in shape, this is the right approach. Are the toilets behind you completed?
Thanks reborn. Yes the outside boys n girls toilet & shower block is complete 👍
I had to quit alcohol in Aug 2017 due to medication for several autoimmune diseases. Wasn't a problem for me & I loved my beer & wine. I figure that I save at least 430 per week.
Great stuff Norman. Hopefully I'll some day get to the same point of not missing a pint 👍
inter on the lashcue rescue!
Lol
Full marks,, I still believe the question should be ,, is it the high you miss or the taste???? If it’s the high never go back if it’s the taste, treat it like a fine Brandy to be used on occasions only ✅🙄 the mere fact that the wagon has rolled down bumpy roads for three months is a positive indication you don’t need the high to be happy or get through the shit that life throws up.
As for me I will only drink when I’m in a good place, then I’m a happy drunk and no problems. If I’m in a bad place never touch the stuff,, never ends well,,,
You’re a sensible chap with your head screwed on 🤔😂you’ll get it right 🙏🙏
I was missing both the taste & the high Chris. Just thank goodness both urges are on the retreat.
As more time passes it's becoming easier to evaluate my drinking habits.
I'm the same with 'all or nothing, seems a bit pointless just having 'one', it's a bit like getting in your car, starting the engine, and then just sitting in it for a bit without driving anywhere! I've had bouts of giving up in the past, just for two or three weeks, to remind me what life is like that way, and now settled on saving it for the weekends, as a routine. Can only be better for the health, plus the wife has never really drank, likewise for most of her family in fact. Oh yeah, and the dad thing! ...my dad was always happy in his stooper, but did come a cropper and drowned on holiday after one or two too many, before he was 60!
Good effort to you though, and thanks for sharing it!
Brilliant comment thanks Simon. Bit of an eye opener that about your dad, gutted for you.
@@ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand no worries mate, it was a long time ago now, but messy at the time with the repatriation and a coroner's enquiry on top of everything else! Ties in with what you were saying about 'responsible drinking' though, and how drinking can impact those around you more than you imagine!
That said, I still love a bit of the old wine, just try to stay close to the old adage of 'everything in moderation'
I have 4 to 6 beers every day after work I don’t class myself as a piss head, it relaxes me after a long day of work, and it doesn’t affect my relationship with my wife, family or friends, it’s all about knowing your limits 👍🇦🇺🇵🇭 🇹🇭 and good on you for giving it a crack, Phil from Aussie land 👍❤️
Nice one thanks Phil 👍👍👍
You only have one life so live it and enjoy it because the next day may never come and with that here`s one for the road :) . Stay healthy and happy to all . I love the beer and only the beer and life is good take your time and only the beer , i hope this help`s .
The picture of you watching us when it's your beer o'clock is always a nice thought John. Cheers.
Nice update buddy, fair play to you and can see both your and Toon’s mojo’s are tip top. The quest will live long a prosper young Jedi
I have another important question though
School Tuck Shop question:
Which one were you?
Mars bar
Crunchie
Marathon (I’m a pre Snickers boy)
Curly Wurly (with a Terry Scott accent)
Smarties
A bag of Monster Munch
Yorkie bar
Other...
I won’t go into the incident when the Tuck shop got broken into at night, no so much Lock Stock but more like Grange Hill - either way some people may have had a great summer that year on the profit of the proceeds...(btw - I enjoyed watching these rapscallion’s enjoy themselves...)
Now this is the sort of deep dive questioning that's become the bedrock of our channel.
Marathon is the winner for me all day long. Mars bars, Milkyways & Crunchies were too sickly for my taste buds.
Can't believe you missed off the mighty Texan bar mate...a man's gotta chew what a man's gotta chew ☝️
@@ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand - it always felt like you got more for your money with a Mars.
For me, they were like the Ford Capri of chocolate bars. Both the Mars bar & the 2.8i looked really good but the taste was more like the disappointing 1.6 with a vinyl roof 🤔
Now your talking, always wanted a 2.8i in electric blue. Mates uncle had one in red and would just stare at it for hours.
Must admit, after 10 years working for the Arabs I just did not include alcohol as part of my social time so generally don't drink anymore. Many of my mates automatically think I am a recovering alcoholic. Stopped the smokes 5 months ago, now that was and still is a challenge
Outstanding 💪💪💪
I haven't had any alcohol since Jan 1st (now on day 95). I'm wondering if I should have a drink on day 100 but I might keep going to prove to myself I can!
This is one of the things isn't Ashley... we've associated celebrating with drinking alcohol for so long, it feels alien to us. Great that you're even questioning having a celebratory drink 💪
You definitely need a new cockerel, preferably one who can tell the time. My worse session on the lash was when I was 20 years old,. never a drinker but it was Christmas eve and I was working with one of the lads and we went out for a few drinks. Well, I'm ok with a couple of shandies but he got me a rum and black, worse thing in the world, I decided to have a few more. I had only been married a month, missed Christmas day and Boxing day. I couldn't even get out of bed. Soooo, do not miss that feeling. But that was 50 years ago and I still remember it to this day.
I did have a bad Christmas 2 years ago when I was on a real downer and supped a bottle of Brandy and a bottle of Baileys (mixed) you should try it sometime) it's like coffee with a kick, was sick all Christmas day.
Love the T shirt by the way.
Brandy & Baileys sounds like a winning combo on a cold winter's night in.
Life is good.
Tis true mara 👍
having only been a social drinker if thats the right thing to say as in 1 or 2 beers on special occasion and never been a drinker i always wondered why i have a beer belly ffs your looking for your 6 pack i have had this watneys party 7 for 10 years have you gone from beer to snacks ? when i hit 55 i have tried to cut out everything to try and loose the belly i plan to come to thailand shortly to get out of the rat race and get a healthy lifestyle. keep up your doing good and the vids are still making me chuckle
I craved a sugar high for the first month or so but after that not much in the way of snacking.
Warm honey in my coffee & raw neem leaves on an empty stomach have had a huge impact on my weight loss and much improved health (covered in the previous quitting alcohol update.) 👍
I love a beer ,just saying 😁 only gone into work with a hangover twice in 9 years .But i love a beer at the weekend .Last time i hugged a toilet like it was my best friend was 20 years ago .Congrats mate 👍
Nice one Geno. It's a shame that I let things slip from drinking occasionally, to weekend drinking, to daily drinking. This is why I believe it's easier for me to go cold turkey than try to go back to years gone by.
@@ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand Yeah i can see its best you do that .I could never drink daily ,id be bored of it to be honest
I drank very little for 2020 so I'm not drinking this year either.
Brilliant & the very best of luck 👍
4+4+1 =9, ascending number mate 🙏❤️.
Geez that video was enough to send me to drink ...lol ..Na good on ya. I don't drink as much as I used to now I still like a drink I just pick and choose the days when I do as the hangovers last a longer at my age 😁 . My father was the same as yours god rest his sole and I fear my older sisters going the same route. But as you know there no telling a alcoholic that they have a problem 😔 just hope she wakes up to if b4 its to late 🙏 . Anyway good luck with the no drinking 😃
Cheers Gary. Always good to hear from you. Hope all is going well with you and your Toon 👍
All good in the Cooper hood cheers Liegh. Working hard and saving up to move out there ASAP. Haven't commented for long time as I tend to watch your videos on my TV and your still one of the few vloggers I still watch religiously. Keep it real 😀🙏👍
I didn't drink for over 7 years but I ended up getting a divorced and went back on the booze very heavy i.e 15/18 bottles of Newcastle brown and God knows how many vodka and red bull on a Saturday night but I woke up after 10 years of being stupid, nowadays it's 3/4 bottles on a Saturday night or sometimes I don't even bother.
Good luck with being dry mate
Those Saturday night binge sessions sound like they were epic!
They where especially when my mate are from Orrell rugby union from the 1990's days before Dave Whelan 🤬 shut it down they play hard, drink hard and bloody stupid 😂😂😂
you should try to raise swallows nest I see you have many around you. it will bw a game changer for you pocket books.
That's a point you make Herald. There's so many more birds here on the farm the last year or so 👍
Admire your courage to go at 65 I still dare not make any move to the things I like but be a slave to security and comfort.
Still off the sauce, the daily feeling to have a beer has gone.
I`m also thinking I`ll never drink again, don`t trust myself to fall into old habits.
If I keep losing weight the wife won`t be calling me ไอ้อ้วน anymore 555,
Take care and keep it up.
That's fantastic to hear Ian. Toon doesn't call me Kong anymore 🤭
Not me gloop!
Should of edited out to be fair 🤪
oh god now you mentioned chocolates lol, that is me with Maltesers mate, no bloody way they can sit in the packet or tub... and thank god Asian countries hardly have any traditional fish n chip shops pheweeee.. I think the biggest vice is tobacco mate, I tried to give up the smokes but hell, I am full in won't and not even think about giving up.. Cigarettes is hands down the worlds most deadliest addictive vice.
I think you're spot on about the ciggies ☝️
Well done leigh 👏I've got my thai partner here in the UK she keeps me right if you know what I mean 👍
Yep, the big stick method is certainly a deterrent 😂
@@ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand the look I get is enough lol..its a good thing..oh leigh I've had a few stints of it 6m n 9m that's when I've bn the most happiest with myself,currently drinking about once a week.i feel horrible the nxt day,depressed..its not a good thing for my body when I've seen the light..💪👍💯
24.00 mins in 10000% agree. I am exactly like this lol. All or nothing. My Mrs treats me like gold bless her!! " how many beer bb? Me, ah just one or two max... She brings back 3 or 4 and says," it's OK bb you can have for tomorrow... Me GONE 🙄😬. I'm 32 have lived out of hotel's same as you mate and to be fair it's probably got alot to do with my addiction to booze. I can convince myself for a reason to drink beer anytime.... Especially now! How the world has changed so much! Lock down UK also I was smashing 4 cans the minute I got to a shop after work. Working away straight to the pub.. No shower, in my work fear oooooo facking raaaaaa.
Typo 🙄 work gear.
Same mate, throw the suitcase in the hotel room and get a pint in. Racked up 11 years doing that. Do you know what though? I didn't even question it at the time.
I like the bit where you say about convincing yourself for a reason to drink. I can certainly relate to that mindset ☝️
Leigh great video mate, but I do feel with your current lifestyle has had a dramatic effect on your mind, especially growing and eating all your own produce, and constant work flow, your gut itself has told your head that the alcohol consumption is not required, but I do feel their is nothing wrong with a little tipple especially on the occasions where family turn up, or celebrations happen... Your body shall advise your head every time, on another note, when you mentioned awaking at 4.41am each day, their is something worldly about this happening, it is a global happening, awakening of ones consciousness, which works out it is a natural thing with some folk, as they are picking up the earthly vibrations with our Sun tilting and the magnetic forces happening around.. Sounds strange but all fact mate.. BTW you look a little younger and the fat under the chin is now slowly going.. All good stuff mate... Stay happy in all you and Toon do...
Awesome comment thanks Jonathan. I looked up the 4am thing...now that is very interesting & intend to read about it more in-depth
Stay Dry
So far so good thanks James.
.I'm sure glad you and Toon have given up drinking beer. Or at least you have, it means there is more beer for me........ Now that you two are slimmer and have more energy, come visit me......
Toon & I talked about this very subject just walking back from locking the goats up for the night. We're looking at trying to squeeze in a visit after the next 2 goat births and before the third.
@@ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand We got a nice comfy room with A/C for the two of you and the pool is nice and ????? either warm or cool, depends on how you like it....... You'll enjoy it.......
Sounds like Toon needs to nip to the market & buy me a new pair of budgie smugglers.
I suppose you'll want me to bring back your t-shirt that you left here? Toon doesn't usually wash other men's dirty washing you know? You're flipping honoured mate ☝️
@@ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand Yep, you might need a speedo for the pool, the shirt can wait until I come down there....
Gday mate ,, if you have had trouble sleeping after say 6 Beers then you have not had enough,, And if you are waking up at 4.41am ,,, then again not enough beer,, And if you have to listen to Thai TV shows, then you need a lot more beer,,, LOL,, Mate if you work hard out on the farm nothing wrong with 3 or 4 beers with a feed then sleep,, i do it for my relax time,, even then i am still walking around doing shit, and the wife says sit down or come inside... LOL,, If you sit down every night and get pissed then yes have a problem,, we all did it when we were young work your ass off all day then sit in the pub till 12pm back up at 6am work and do it again,, lol,, but now , A big night i need 2 days to get over it,,, My big nights are different than most,, So mate are you saying you are not going to drink again ? Why question yourself about drinking,, if you get Angry when you drink then yes stop,, told my son the other day you are a shit drunk because you get angry,, his nan said the same a few days later when we were there talking about stuff she brought it up, i said see same as what i said,, then if you are happy and enjoy a few with friends what is the problem,,
Nice one Sean. I was saying that if I don't think I could drink an occasional beer without having the urge to drink everyday again, then yep, I won't be boozing again anytime soon.
functioning alcoholic vs alcoholic... I can get a 6 pack every night and not effect my job functioning alcoholic. Straight up alcoholic will drink until they fuck up everything. Nether is good although if i get a 12 pack i will drink a 12 pack... Think i have said this before. AA says as long as you don't take that first drink you good. But i love to drink as long as it doesn't mess with my life i'm good.
Functioning alcoholic is a great phrase and something worth noting. Cheers 👍
Leigh, you've got the shaved head, when're you getting the saffron dress? lol. You were a party drinker, you've now found a different source for your endorphins. IMO alcoholism isn't as simple as the amount you drink. If you've got the thought in your head that you need that one drink to get you functioning then that is bordering on alcohol dependency. The psychological habit, is often, harder to break than the physical but no 2 people are exactly the same so it's not black and white.
Very good points Jo. I think Alcohol dependencey is a great way to explain the grey area between drinking irrisponsibly & being a full blown alcoholic 👍👍👍
Blimey your becoming a monk, let's face it your half way there with that barrnet 😉
No fear of me sporting a Scouse perm anytime soon 🤪
Stop talking about your wife's drinking.
All videos get the seal of approval by both of us prior to any being publishing.on TH-cam.
@@ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand not making it an issue helps you....Snickering at her personality traits...not cool
This is coming across as a little bit unbalanced Tom. Why not take issue with the numerous videos of Toon snickering at my traits? Over the course of nearly 500 videos, there's a nice even spread of our daily (often brutal) banter. This is the way we are together face to face in real life & our channel gives an honest account of that. Sometimes a new viewer watches us for the first few videos & this aspect is interpreted the wrong way. Toon has been given plenty of stick & online abuse about how she's spoken to me & about me over the years.
More than four years ago we both agreed & promised each other that we'd only record the real us, the bear bones. Viewers who find this uneasy always have the decision in their own hands whether to follow us or not. Like all married couples, we do what works for us & after 15 years together we've never been happier...we both reckon that's pretty cool 😉
@@ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand I hate it when farangs make fun of thais, usually saying how stupid the thais are. Of course I don't want to hear thais talking that way about us either. Mostly, people don't want to hear couples making fun, ridiculing each other. Usually it has some truth. The alcohol issue is about just not letting it occupy any part of your mind. Whatever either of you do is a personal matter. When that happens, you have it licked. Alcohol makes you age visibly. You obviously love and depend upon each other. My Thai wife was not a drinker. She died young from blood clots...stroke, in a coma for 7 months. I sometimes wonder if maybe if she drank a little bit, it would have saved her life. ( it was a genetic issue) BTW.....encourage people to stop burning. There has to be an acceptable way to stop this pollution. Its the worst in the world right now.
@@ToonLeighporpeangfarmThailand it left me with a bad feeling Leigh. Talking about Toon stumbling around. You too.
