Sunday here! Been good so far. Hope you and your fam are doing wellhope everyone is enjoying their saturday?
i am having a great day and wish everyone else the same!!!
'and all you touch and all you see
is all your life will ever be'
i'm glad you appreciate it, pretty much sums things up.
thank you, kind sir...tell your dad 'wish you were here' he will know what i mean, lol.
I gave up the drink Feb 2018. I was up 75 lbs. I was getting tossed out of bars and blacking out. Went to the hospital and had blood work done for the blackouts and my liver, kidney, and pancreas were a decimal point away from failing. I gave it up cold turkey and haven’t looked back.
Thats awesome, brother!!! Stories like yours make me feel like I can do it
It’s a huge mind game. Once you realize the drink isn’t giving back what you are putting in, it makes it easier to forget about it. Find another way to blow off steam. Shooting, lifting, riding motorcycles, anything.
Thats what I need to do...ive been lifting consistently but im gonna start running again....this seems to help with my anxiety and clears my perpetual brain fog.
Heck yeah. All the best.
I went cold turkey 20 years ago, so I think I never had that alcohol gene in me, but I do know people that had success with counseling. See if there is any group like AA that does this near by you, just go everybody is there for the same thing so dont let any anxiety get to you. Even it doesnt work you increase your chances by 100% simply by trying.
blackouts suck...i hated being told the stupid stuff i did and not remembering.
Yeah I ended up getting walked out of few places. I am only lucky no legal trouble came out of it. Good on you for the 22 years.
mine didn't come easy...after i got out of the navy i was a full blown alkie, went and lived in PI fot 7 years after the navy[alcoholic heaven]-mojo and san miguel and ionamin otc. i came back not only a alkie but with a ionamin addiction to boot. spent 6 months in house at VA drug and alcohol rehab where my counselor became my AA/NA sponsor until he died several years ago. i ran a bar in olongapo and would pop ionamin all night so i could drink as much as i wanted and not get too drunk.
Good you got out of there. Olongapo got the best of many a sailors.
I don’t think there’s an easy answer for this. Some people can quit cold turkey, some absolutely can’t. However, if it’s stress related, you might be able to find a different outlet. If you’re holding everything in, like most folks do, then let that **** out. Buy cheap glass/ceramics and shatter those bad boys. Sledgehammer a tire. On the less rage side of things, music/Audible or gaming.
Good you got out of there. Olongapo got the best of many a sailors.
olongapo in the 70's and 80's truly was sin city. you are right it was time to go, but i had the time of my life there!!!
Built and stained a storage chest for wife’s throw pillows. Gotta clear it tomorrow and get a hinge and put together a pillow for the top.hope everyone is enjoying their saturday?

. Heat was rough today.
Thanks man. Solid advice. Mine is definitely stress related.
Niagara Falls, can’t believe such a beautiful place but o discovered the most extreme ghetto I ever seen, so many boarded up shytholes and some streets that didn’t look paved for 80years.hope everyone is enjoying their saturday?

Thanks, enjoy your trip I’ll look that up!
I live in New York was about a 7 hour drive for me, wanted to go to Canada, that’s where you can go inside the waterfall in the back.
It got away from me a bit when the quarantine started. Is there something you can do instead of drinking that might scratch that itch? For me it was subbing in a little extra weed (I know; you're shocked. lol) but I doubt that's your jam.

A good friend of mine, who is actually my barber, has been sober for nearly 12 years. He was a biker guy, got into meth, and drank like a fish. Some of his customers would bring him a tall boy to drink while he cut their hair. He drink at lunch, and continue into the night. He would show up late to work with customers waiting for him on a daily basis. His sister shared the business with him and she put her foot down and told him to get cleaned up or she was going to kick him out of the business. He ended up going to AA. It’s something to think about man. Not everyone can quit on their own, so don’t think this is something you need to do alone. The first step is always the hardest man! Kudos to you for recognizing it!!
That’s awesome man...congrats on your sobriety!

Bet they aren’t celebrating the Supreme Court upholding DACA now are they lol? Precedent has now been set. As usual Trump was playing chess and the dems were playing checkers.
It was a well played move by Trump, and even the “I’ll extend this stuff and forgive the taxes next year” (aka re-elect me) was smart. I’m not on board with a payroll tax cut and I also think the extra $400 should be capped at 100% of your wages. I think the $600 should have been the same. Obviously a big fan of student loan forbearance and the eviction moratorium was needed as well.
Democrats are too busy trying to figure out what bathroom to use. How will they find time to legislate?
I’ve never really understood the conservative obsession with the bathrooms. I guess if y’all are into sneaking a peak of the dude at the urinal next to you, that’s your, ironically closeted, business.
Conservatives aren’t into sneaking peeks. If you are standing in front of a toilet and their is a dick in your hand you go to the men’s room. If you don’t you go to the other room. I’m not sure why democrats decided to confuse the issue.
student loan forbearance?
If they forgive student loans they had better refund me all the money I spent on my daughters college education. Otherwise no dice.
my theory is don't sign on dotted line if you don't intend to pay back the debt....i don't expect the government to forgive my loan for the new truck i just bought.
You mean you don’t want your tax money going to some libiots Bachelor of Arts in underwater basket weaving degree???
actually i don't care what they study or major in...as long as they pay their bar tab!!!!
I’m in about 104k in student loan debt. I don’t want it forgiven, I chose to take out the loans, go to school, and better myself. My choice, my responsibility. People who went to college knew what they were getting into.
the difference being that before they give a loan for a house or car they make sure you are able to pay it back and require a down payment ......like i said before the way they are giving out student loans is very similar to the savings and loan crisis of 80's and 90's...and we all know how that turned out.I’m in about 104k in student loan debt. I don’t want it forgiven, I chose to take out the loans, go to school, and better myself. My choice, my responsibility. People who went to college knew what they were getting into.
Who goes out to buy a house, a car, and feels like they should be forgiven for it?
Forbearance makes more sense to me.
