Starting in my twenty's. I started smoking when I was 21 but I have been somke free now for two and a half years and counting. When I was 22 I started working in bar's. Six month after that is when I started drinking almost every day for three and a half year's. The only thing that keep me from going over the edge was that I was doing some thing I loved. That was cooking and my skills in the kitchen made well known. Then I moved to Arizona For most of 2007 where my drinking didn't stop until I moved back to Utah. Because of my actions in these year's I stopped taking care of my teeth. My teeth need to be replaced and that is another reason why I want to get my restaurant started soon. So every one knows I'll be 35 this year.
