Please.
Don't make light of his stuffed box at this time.
Thank you.

I believe him. Time will tell.

I ran a 12-step program for a couple of years, met a bunch of great folk and was in awe of several. It takes humility to say "I can't get over this by myself" and perhaps most importantly, it takes an understanding that you must not ever think, "Just one little one won't hurt". One little one is how it started.

Great work, Travis. Stay strong.

Travis,
Take care of yourself.
Take care of your family.
Hope you keep posting.

Possibly, but I'm celebrating his achievement with a fine single malt Scotch.

Thank you to all that have expressed support.





Travis

I put you on ignore long ago, but after reading some of the replies and seeing what is going on, I am taking you off. Best of luck to you. miles

One day at a time Travis, and welcome to the "club". We're all happy for you.

Shoot me a PM if you need an ear.

Best of luck to you Travis,

I'm pulling for ya Travis.
Welcome to a new world. A wise man taught me that if you ever take another drink, they might as well bury you with a bottle. Because it will surely take you to an earlier grave.
Looking at it that way gives me the determination to never have another drink.

Stay strong buddy.
It'll all work out for you.
Soooo glad you've seen the light.
Now, gfy, and get outside, and enjoy your world through different eyes.
Rats ought a be out by now !!!

Good for you!

Line 'em up and knock 'em down.

Is it April 1 yet?

Have one on me, man from Montana.

Enjoy the family time.

I guess you could have thrown me into the social beer drinker club in my not too distant past. Never really had the constant desire to have alcohol. Figured out what I really loved was the social part and thought I needed beer as an ingredient to socialize. After awhile, I felt like a sucker on the hook watching the stupidity of alcohol related marketing and the party appeal. Funny how we are saturated with upside of a party life, but none of the alcohol/etc. marketing fills us in on the other aspects like incapacitating hangovers, dealing with stupid drunks, fighting, jail, DUI's and there costs, and all the money we literally piss down the drain from alcohol alone. When I began to add it up it really was a small ROI for the tolls you are exacted to keep drinking.

Then I turned forty and the not so friendly physical changes came with it. Alcohol began to be a major problem with exacerbating some of the small ailments I have been dealing with, even in small amounts, so I dropped drinking any alcohol all together. Trust me, it won't be long and you won't miss it.

I guess this is a long way of saying you're not alone, listen to your body (I promise it doesn't like the stuff from a health standpoint). Listen and love on your family and friends, the ones worthwhile will support you! I've enjoyed your wit and humor and don't believe for a second that will change at all, except you're going to become a much more pleasant human being to be around. Dude, there is nothing that beats a healthy and sober life!

Best of luck, prayers and a healthy Good For You!

Good luck.

It seems to be working out well.

Re your apology to me, you have a PM.

Disregard the pricks on here making light of your thread, you will have to deal with self absorbed idiots like them the rest of your life.

It's easier when you are sober.

Good luck Travis and hopefully Curdog can now show you the path to Jesus.
