Yes Gary had quit drinking before we met. Now once in a while he would take a beer that his best friend Jason would offer him. He only take a few sips of it though and I would grab his can after it got hot and pour it down the sink so he could have another one. Lol. His friend never knew till I told him a couple years ago. I find it sad that he worked so hard and quit the drink and had to die from the hands of a drunk driver. I told him all the time how proud I was of him to be so strong minded to quit a habit that so many people struggle to quit.
