Hoo-ray!

Good work brother.

Excellent, a big change, but huge bennies. :thumb:

It's only a day at a time, not *that* big. amirite? totally doable.

very doable. the first week was the toughest. i am, however, consuming large amounts of ice cream!! (and not gaining any weight!! :p:)

seriously though, sweets have been a lifesaver doing this. the first two weeks i think i ate a box of skorz bars and 2 gallons of ice cream lol! and yeah, it's a big change but the bennies are worth it!

Thailand government campaign.

hell that ad was so bad it almost made me drink lol!!! (j/k!)

CC Sabathia is going to try to climb on the wagon. Good luck to him.

Good for him.

He must have done something REALLY REALLY bad to walk away the day before the playoffs.

90 days today boys n girls!

what a ride it's been. in the past 90 days i've:
1. started sleeping better
2. smoking more (layoff! one thing at a time ;))
3. began my pilgrimage to get my medical back from the FAA due to 2 DWI's
4. after 13 months of being "demoted" from inside contractor to outside contractor from the office to being called BACK into the office not only as an inside contractor once again but this time lead designer AND project manager on two separate client jobs, one of which has roughly 12-16 sites
5. eating TONS of ice cream and NOT gaining a pound (my wife hates me for this :p:
6. due to #5 will be able to easily save for my Cessna Citation CE-500 rating once #4 is completed (barring any rating suspensions the gubmint might enforce (ie. no new ratings for you for the next 6 months or lyear). by obtaining the CE-500 type rating is good for the Citation 500, 501, 550, 551 & 560. Cessna uses the names: Citation, Citation SP, V, Ultra, Encore & Bravo.
7. learned to see things a whole lot different, in a better way.

8. last but certainly not least, my mother in law passed away just this last wednesday all while trying to get accustomed to being back in the office. where my wife and i work, if you don't work you don't get paid. I would get off work on monday & tuesday evening and go over to nana's and help out where help was needed then wednesday she called right when nana passed and i was there almost as fast. she passed gracefully and peacefully with friends and family around. you sure couldn't ask for more, not in this situation, anyway. point is though with #8 here is rather than do what me and my wife would have done (she has quit drinking right along side me) which would have been to go get drunk, we faced (and are facing) the issues that come along with this ultimate fact of life with clarity and pretty much knowing what to do next and if we don't, ask. make sense? we just arrived home about an hour ago from austin where Nana was laid to rest next to her loving husband of 28 years who passed back in the 80's.

it feels great to not have to deal with the crap that constant over indulgence of alcohol on a regular basis creates.

Good for you, Fred! It helps to have a supportive partner.

Well done.

Well Done!

Good job, philthy and wife. So sorry for your loss. :hug:
