Good guess ?
Just doing the math a second home in Mammoth doesn't work unless the owner has lots of cash to burn.
Or do STR's .
I'm an exception as we haven't done that yet. Everyone is renting...

Pain in the ass.

5.5 hour drive to our condo.

Just knocked out 2 years Alcohol Free.

I drank for a number of reasons.
One of those reasons was if I felt uncomfortable where I was at.
Someone in my...

From my perspective it means not consuming alcohol.
Everything else is ok.

Got both shots 2 weeks ago.
Soreness and a slight reaction to the shots which is usual for me.
Asked my doctor if I should get the covid shot.
He said it didn't cover the newest strain but might...

Things have progressed in the last few years.
Those big shots are outdated now because they cause unwanted side effects including spikes and troughs.
Needles and injection sites have changed too....

Dropping in here again to mention TRT replacement therapy.
Please look into it.
You have all the signs of it.
And its a normal thing to be dealing with at 50.
I have been on it for 17 years...

It's a book written by Annie Grace.
William Porter also has a book called Alcohol Explained.
A great read on exactly what we are doing to ourselves drinking ethanol.

I don't count but do have a sobriety counter app that does when I'm interested.

No AA for me. Used science based information to change my subconscious mind that was creating...

When I decided to start loving myself again the embarrassment factor disappeared with my addiction issues.
It could be anything that we try to hide from others.
Problem with hiding shit is that we...

You are not alone.

Congratulations everyone for your sobriety and recovery.

Life changing experience for sure.
All the shit I never thought I could...

Happy Birthday to the first person I seen here post about alcohol addiction and sobriety.
I never forgot those posts and that seed eventually helped me with my sobriety and recovery.
Just want...

Ski and Snowboard app.
8.99 a month.
Cancel in March.
They save the races for viewing later too.
I gave up trying to find them elsewhere.

It looks like she deals with depression.
That shit is a energy stealer.
And she's not over it by her mannerisms.
I hope she can find some inner peace as she has the physical ability to dominate.

Day 8 and feeling great 👍
Slight congestion which is nothing to me.
Wife is now sick on day 4.
She tested positive yesterday.
At least she doesn't have to isolate in our house since I gave it...

Day 6.
Head cold is gone.
What the hell?
Last time I had Delta before vaccines were available I thought I was going to die and spent 9 months with long covid.
I'm so fucking happy right now!...

Got the booster on Sept 16 2023
Got infected with Covid at a football game last Sunday.

Thankyou ❤️
I'm just blown away how awesome life is without alcohol in it.
My addiction had me believing I needed to drink to have fun.
It invaded every aspect of my life.
I now show others

Congratulations 👏
Thats a huge accomplishment.
And I agree about WRG setting the bar high on the forum.
He was one of the first people I seen post here about his addiction and AF journey....

328 days AF.
I remember posting in the first sobriety thread years ago when I was trying to stop drinking.
Obviously it didn't stick back then.
Reality was that I wasn't ready to quit yet....

Get up.
Get shit done.
Take a nap in the afternoon.
Embrace the change.

Thankyou for mentioning that.
Traumatic brain injury could have pushed the addiction along plus physical pain relief from the drug
" Alcohol " would make it almost impossible to stop using.

So sad.
Addiction is a equal opportunity destroyer.

He asked me what kind of skis I was riding as he had never seen them before.

Good for you.
We travel all over the world.
Usually throw ourselves into the community wherever we are.
So shots and pills are the norm.
No big deal.
The Malaria pills do suck though.

One was admitted for 5 days with phemonia.
Not sure on the vaccinations on these three.
We can't ask them as they get defensive.

Just got it yesterday afternoon.
5 months from my last Omnicron booster.
No issues getting it.
Just asked at the CVS pharmacy for it.
No reservations needed.

Congratulations.
Amazing story of perseverance through injury.
Enjoyed seeing all the old dogs posting up here too.

Well we are pretty old 🤔
Our backyard is all pavers and pool.
Paver temp yesterday was 139 degrees 😳
Fucking brick oven hot 🔥
And it's not even the hottest month yet 😂
