May God bless and keep you this Easter. Short, sweet, and my sentiments 100%. It takes a big man to admit weakness and do something about it. Prayers sent your way Travis. Keep up the good work! This. Travis isn't going to joke about damned near losing his family. Yeah, that's my stance as well. Good luck Travis. Add me to this thought chain. A man doesn't joke about losing his family. I don't know Travis but do know alcoholics. My best buddy from grade school on up acquired a drinking problem. In a span of 1 week, he lost job (fired), truck (wreck), and wife (left). You could say he hit rock bottom. He's also been sober for 20+ years. I've lost 2 really good friends and a brother in law to drinking and driving. I really miss my buddy Lou. None of these guys could admit they had a problem. Hang in there - one day at a time.
Adversity doesn't build character, it reveals it.

My wife and kids might disagree...
Democracy is not freedom. Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to eat for lunch. Freedom comes from the recognition of certain rights which may not be taken, not even by a 99% vote.

Travis,
Smooth seas, and a foillowing wind,
One hand for the ship ( your family) and one for yourself.
Luck

Coming to grips with reality is the toughest mountain to climb. Sounds like you are well on your way. Keep climbing. We all have something to climb for as well.

And as far as forgiveness goes, I give it easily to people that I believe are sincere about wanting it.
Travis isn't there. I was taught a man earns respect, and he hasn't.
Sounds to me like you're extremely butt hurt that Travis didn't include you in his apology. Am I right Costanza?

Not to drag this thread off course, but it's pretty damn easy for me to see who I would and would not hang out and/or spend time with. I understand that not everyone is going to agree with others, especially given the range of topics here, but character shows through and I'm getting old enough that I don't care to invest what time I have left on this earth with those who choose to be azzholes.

You know what [bleep] [bleep]? [bleep] off.
Don't anyone believe this crap. He is an [bleep] that's proud of being an [bleep]. Rick, you can ban me if you want, I don't care. I don't sign in a lot anymore, and don't because of this jackass.

This is all so beautiful. Scary thing is, it'slike a cheap poll on the " conservative " voting these days.

Sometimes I drink and sometimes I think
Maybe I was born with a thirst.
Things don't get no better for me
They just go from bad to worse.
