Best wishes Flaver for recovery.
Your whole personality of humor and wit aint wrapped up in the drink.
Sometimes you can only compensate so long for things, and then you gotta turn and fight.
Chin up, and keeps hands busy. Keep punching.

Good on you for coming out publicly with this. It shows true character and courage.
Someone very close to me just went through alcohol rehab at Shick Shadel hospital in Seattle and has become an entirely new person.
I applaud anyone who fights through alcohol addiction and illness. Those who love and need you appreciate that fight.

Travis,
Good to hear from you and hear that you are doing well. I've got enough drunken alcoholic family stories for a lifetime. Swore I'd never be like my father....you're on a very good, but tough road, but it takes a hell of a lot of fortitude to have done what you've already accomplished.
I'm a phone call or a PM away if you ever need anything.
Happy Easter to you and yours.
Bob

thought a lot of your posts were off color but we have all fallen somewhere along the line , the fact that you can come on and ask for forgiveness is the start of rebuiling your self and family,both my dad and brother were alcaholics so I have an idea what you are going through.
though you did not hurt me personally i can forgive and forget and pray that the wagon holds steady it can be so easy to fall of .
prayers sent norm.

Looks to me like step 9 came up pretty quick.
He called me a pussy about 6 weeks ago.
I been stuck on step 2.5 for 27 damn years,...and that's only on Wednesday.
I generally regress back to step 1 on Saturdays.
I read the Blue Book on the toilet ever now and then, but I've yet to find the chapter that deals with havin' to spend 10 years workin' fer the Japanese.
I think it's time fer an update.

But seriously,..I don't mean to discourage anybody.
No matter what it is, if it's causing problems you need to give it up,...A horny fat woman next door, or a moonshiner 2 blocks over,...or,..a horny fat woman that's also a moonshiner,,...(be damn if that wouldn't wreck a life)
But in any event,... live the life that fits you and yours.
Don't let fat women or likker fuggit up.

That took some serious courage right there. Good on ya, sir. Just do not lose your sense of humor, ever, please. It's a damn good one, as many have already mentioned, and it will help you through whatever all you're going to face as you move forward.
Happy Easter, all.

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. I think I just found my long lost twin brother.

Travis, it takes a real man with real courage to fess up and admit your mistakes. And to do something about it. Your on the right path.
I'm confident that you can do it. Do it for those great kids that you have! They deserve it! I can tell by your posts that there is a good Dad in there somewhere! May God bless you and your Family!

My best hunting buddy went through this last year. He lost everything to his addiction, his wife, house and all his friends including me and his liver is failing him.
I have a complete understanding of what you are going through. You will make it through this as you have so many people here on the fire that think the world of you.
