Half a year since I’ve given up the drink and smoke. Quite a fuckin’ journey too. They aren’t fucking around when they promise a life better than you could ever imagine. And here I am. I got a Cadillac, I’m in a healthy, serious relationship, and I’m doing well at both my jobs. My dream car- a ‘72 Coupe DeVille for your time.

Good work man. I know someone who doesn’t have the stones to give up drink properly (they really need to) and they’re much worse off for it.

What was the trigger that made you seek help? Was it just one stupid night or many many smaller fuck ups. describe a bit if you plox?

It was a constant being broke, perpetually fucked up, having nights where I'd drink a liter of jack then go out to the garage for grav hits, then passing out throwing up not knowing if I'd see the next day. It was just no way to live, man.

What? You don’t miss waking up feeling like death, puking all the damned time, and hiding shit from everyone every day?

Congrats on six, keep it up. I’m going on 2 years sober and sometimes I’m still amazed when I when I wake up and remember a dream...I never dreamed when I was drinking. It’s the small things.

I quit smoking cigarettes on May 19th. I was never addicted per se, but I’d been casually smoking since I was 17ish (currently 22). It hasn’t been too hard, but there are times where I’d love to rip a cig - especially on long, uneventful car rides.

Good luck - keep it up.

Fantastic! With all the money you save you could buy that Lincoln you always wanted.

sm70- why not Duesenberg? > Your boy, BJR

No questions, but I’d give you a hearty handshake if I could.

Just an insignificant thought - I find it slightly sad for me that your dream car is $20,000 at most while mine is about $350,000. Like, you have a greater chance of living the dream than myself.

And good work on your lack of drinking/smoking. One wrong move, one addiction too far, and things can get messed up bad.

I was more making a joke about how I sent my 2002 to the compactor, but no. I don't even drink that non alcoholic shit.

hahaha, I’m well aware of the fate of your 02. Hey, it was a real shit box. The only thing that was worth anything was probably the glass. And yah, I don’t know who would ever drink that shit. Have a song that I’m listening to right now.
