I went on the wagon on monday, been drinking too much for about five years, had quit for four years prior and thought i could hndle having a few hear and there, a few turned into 6-15 beers a day and 3 bottles of bourbon/vodka a week. Been dry 5 days, first 4 sucked terribly, about every withdrawl sympton you can have, today I feel much better, not sure if I will ever fall back, just have to change some of my old patterns.
Actually the opposite , I don't work as hard as I used to. Too much telling the help what to do. and not doing the hard work anymore. Do drink too much about 19 beers and 3/4 bottle of turkey 101 since 1:30 this morning and barely got a buzz. Did take the day off, which lately I haven't been able to do since I'm self-employed, back to work tomorrow.
Alcohol consumption seems to become self limiting with age.
More than enough to produce a slight buzz beats me up pretty good these days. I had a little too much about a week ago and have had no desire to have any since then. (That Loco purple drank is some serious stuff. Tastes like a Grape Nehi but will kick you in the ass)
I probably will again someday. But the time in between keeps getting longer and longer.
Damn Roger. Hope ya get to feeling better soon. Take care.

303, look at it this way. You can drink tomorrow if you want, just not today. Then tomorrow becomes today. Repeat. Small periods of time (today) are manageable.
I had to stop by for a check-up on my way to the liquor store Halloween Eve 2016. The Doc put me in the E.R. with congestive heart failure. I never have made it to that liquor store, yet. Good Luck Roger.
yeah, you had a good buzz going on back at that first dove hunt.
is that the Rio Grande?
We were staying in the hill country near Concan, but hunted around Uvalde and south of San Antonio.
My gosh that was a good time 😎 Thanks for posting it.
If I didn’t have that many misses with that 20ga flintlock fowler it’s because it took so long to reload 🙂 Finally caught that whitewing going away; no lead necessary. 80gr FFg, 1 1/2oz of no.7, prob’ly enough to drop a charging grizzly 🙂
Take care of yourself Rog, we need you to be around.

When I had that gun made I ordered the Chambers Colonial Virginia lock because it was bigger and took a 1” flint, ergo intrinsically more reliable. Which it is, but it turns out bigger flintlocks are also intrinsically slower, the flint describing a longer arc. Didn’t help any in that application. Besides all that I’m a mediocre wing shot at best 🙂

Yeah, you might want to cut back a bit.
Is that a lot? LMAO
Only if you're buyin.
Slaves get what they need. Free men get what they want.
Woke up at 1:30 in the morning with my head hurting and dizzy, blood pressure was 206 over 115, had to take another pill and a half to bring it down. Need to lose about 30-35 lbs. Back on Keto.
Read the book titled “Wheat Belly” by Dr. William Davis. Get rid of the wheat in your diet and you will lose weight. It’s not easy as wheat is in everything but if you can a least eliminate some, it will help. Good luck in whatever you do.
