Travis I'm glad you are still coming around here. It takes some moxie to own your mistakes. Good on you.
You (and basically everyone who reads this) may find some inspiration through a group called "Team NDCQ" the web site is ndcq dot com and it was started by a guy named Mac who's facing brain cancer. He has faced many things with the attitude that he will never quit. Sometimes it's having that attitude that makes you pick yourself up and continue when you know quitting would be easier.

Well, Travis. I won't waste my words on the open forum, but I can say I truly do wish you the best in your new work. Chin up, amigo.

Good to have you back Travis. Have to admit that your humor is one of the main reasons I stay tuned to this channel. Good Luck Bud. A lot of people on here got your six.

I've never met you but I don't doubt we'd get along great in person. Your heartfelt post seems to prove that you will be successful in your recovery. I'm praying for your recovery and for healing for you and your family. May God bless you and guide you through your recovery. I don't drink like I did when I was younger (thank God) and feel great. Not drinking gets easier as do mornings and bowel movements. 😬

May God bless and keep you this Easter. This. But I would like to add that even though I do not believe you ever attacked or offended me in any way you have my forgiveness. More than that you have my prayers and support. I am one who thinks you are a great guy and hope to see you posting when you are ready.

Stay Busy. From Morning to Night, don't have an Idle Moment. By that I mean staying physically Busy. Sweat that [bleep] out of your system. That's what worked for Me 28 Years ago.
Good Luck

Travis,
You have many, many friends here that are pulling for you.
You are on a new journey. Whenever you find yourself having doubts, remind yourself why you chose the new path.

It all fun and games until it ain't. While I know the good times, I wouldn't wish the life, or lack of it, on anyone via alcohol struggles. Have tried to raise my boys well in spite of it - and suffer in the city at the moment to try and keep the ship upright. But I'd give up anything I own to have one of my best friends back again......and seeing him go as his organs failed and his family fell apart is not something I ever hope to watch firsthand again.
BTW, your sense of humor is something I understand well; rarely seen it as too much, though I can see where it might have been. It's a good man who will admit his faults and make amends. Good For You!

Not a bad day for a Resurrection. Upon the next hard frost in Haveher, he will be risen... In all seriousness, I've no idea if this is real or another ruse. If real, for the sake of the deflave family I wish Travis the best.

I'm like Flave, I really like to drink beer.
But work keeps me busy enough that I only drink at home or dicking off close to home out in the hills.
Used to love whiskey but came to the conclusion that I don't have enough self control for the stuff.
Boredom is half of it(winter is the worst...), being a happy drunk is the other. If beer didn't make me one happy fuucker I wouldn't touch it.
(and I only drink when I'm in a good mood, which is about everyday...grin)
Good luck with it Travis.

Travis may every step you take going forward be a stronger one than the one that preceded it.

You treated a lot of people like crap but I do wish you well in your recovery. You actually are a funny guy and can make this place a lot more fun. Good luck.

Every one I know who got a handle on their addiction did it buy staying busy doing productive things. Have to keep your mind off of it,cant get bored.
