I’m going to need to wear the pants with the elastic waistband!

I’m coming to your house next Thanksgiving!

Sometimes adversity is our greatest teacher. You had to go through what you’ve experienced to grow… in ways you didn’t expect.

I’m normally a non-violent person… but I do make exceptions.

That’s how we do it… one day at a time.

It’s 4 more years than I was when I got sober at 27.
At this point, not drinking isn’t something I do… it’s just who I am

One day at a Time… since 1994.

I have 31+ of sobriety I know some with more and many with less.
One thing is true about us all: every one of us started exactly where you are.
Hopefully, you’ll never forget exactly where and how you are now, and know that you never want to go back.

Also… my family is just toxic.
Since my wife and I moved to Europe, people always ask if we miss our family.
I tell them that 2,000 miles is just starting to get to be enough physical separation.

That only left them.
They weren’t the reason I drank. That’s on me. But it was a clear indication that they created the environment where my drinking “flourished”.
Go easy on yourself. Sometimes they ARE the problem. You are right where you need to be… and they are where they are..

FWIW, as late as 25+ years sober both my parents would ask if I was still sober and be surprised when I said yes.
I thought I’d been such a horrible son when I was drinking (I was), but they didn’t seem to notice (or care) that I stopped.
I checked myself to make sure I’d changed… improved. I had.

People underestimate the old AA adage: there’s only one step about drinking… and 11 steps about living.
Finding peace is the ultimate goal for me… not drinking is just the foundation for a life I don’t have to try to escape from….

As a person who got sober in Dallas in the 90s, I personally know so many ppl this organization helped.
I’ve not lived in DFW for a while, so I’m glad to see it alive and well… helping new generations get clean and sober.

Please don’t let me be correct!!!

They’re setting her up to be the VP for JD when they throw Trump under the bus for the Epstein fallout. When he gets 25th’ed they install her.
I’m NOT a conspiracy theorist. I just think “what’s the worst thing they can do?” and then they do it…

FWIW, I’m really enjoying your court mandated walk through sobriety.
When you’re done, it’s going to be interesting to see if you go back to how you were before.
I doubt it. Clarity of mind and body changes you.
What are your predictions?

My smell-o-vision is sending me hints of cinnamon and spruce…

Drinking dreams are fantastic windows into how your brain works! I’ve got 31+yrs sober and they creep in every now and then.
Look at what’s going on in your life. Examine what needs attention.
They’re a “check engine” light for your sobriety!
