Welcome to Storyworthy. My name is Christine Blackburn, and I'm coming to you from Los Angeles, California.

Whether you're a longtime fan of the show of almost 14 years, or you're a new listener, welcome to Storyworthy.

I hope you guys had a chance to listen to the show last week with singer Paige Brian.

Page happens to be the comedian Sinbad's daughter.

You guys know Sinbad, right?

So Paige tells the story about going on a family vacation with her dad and her mom and her siblings to, oh, I forget.

They were on a houseboat in Lake Havasu, I believe.

Yeah. And anyway, they're on this houseboat vacation. None of them have any business driving or operating a houseboat, but here

we are, and a lot of funny things happen. So go back, you guys. Listen to Paige Bryan last week,

talking about her family vacation on a houseboat. But not today.

Stick with me now because today I am here alone. That's right. I am solo. I've actually never done

this in 13 years. Just come to you from my closet with no guest.

That does not happen often.

And here we are.

It's just me.

And I thought I would tell you guys a little bit about my year, 2023.

All right.

That's exciting, isn't it?

Well, the big thing that happened was I stopped drinking this year.

Yeah, that's a big deal for me because I drank alcohol for 40 years. You know what I mean? Like growing up in Pittsburgh, football games, gatherings, family gatherings, it's always about alcohol. You know, what would you like to drink? So I have been drinking beers,

beers, a lot of beers and wine for many, many years. And this past June, it was June 22nd,

I stopped drinking. And, you know, it wasn't like I had a moment like I'm an alcoholic.
