See I feel like that’s the goal.

After one too many Saturday nights ended with my head in the toilet I learned how to reign it in and recall that horrible dizzy nauseous insomniac feeling when it’s time to stop.

Honest question for anybody. Do most people choose to get sober if they have a drinking problem? Or do lots of weekend drinkers do this too?

The pandemic made me drink...a lot. My wife told me she was concerned so I’ve limited it to weekends only without too much trouble. But it still prevents me from being in the shape I want to be.

Whoops slow down there buddy. You don't count future sobriety until it happens. One day at a time. You maybe drunk next week.

I don’t think so. I got to the point that I didn’t care anymore. I was hopeless as they say. Drinking 15 beers a night and sometimes starting before breakfast was a problem that I didn’t care to recognize. BBTGOG I’m sober today.

A clear head is an often overlooked gift. Never take it for granted. Wasted days and wasted nights....

blee dat clean


was it your 10 year ban for going scorched earth ballistic on chicken and his merry band of admins on td.com that made you evaluate your life?

do you still hate white chicks?

is the invitation still open for me to be your wing-man to help scout the hot arse african american worker chicks at the new iberia walmart?

why in the hell could you not flip sedrick van pran?

who are the top three 2022 recruits in your area and will lsu get them?

is your porky (pittbull / yorkie combo) considered an assistance service dog?

do you still where socks with flip flops, as "no man should ever show his bare feet in public"

will you go back and get your law degree and join the firm of slow flow pro, boosie bad azz & clean (the c guarantee)?

was it fireball whiskey that did you in? that seems to be a popular whiskey for alcoholics?

If your best friend, wife, mother of your children expresses her concerns, you might want to look in the mirror and re-evaluate your priorities. In order to appease your wife, you’re justifying it’s OK to drink excessively on the weekends instead of 7 days a week.

I put myself in treatment because I was tired of being miserable and always chasing my fix ... drugs and alcohol. After awhile it gets old and you will realize how much you’re hurting your wife and kids. Some people get 2nd, 3rd, and 4th chances, others do not. Ultimately the ball is in your court

I like you because you're not one of those superiority complex having, so evolved and experienced junkies/alcoholics.
