| Congrats least, I'm really proud of you. Day 6 for me, I had a really, really, crazy intense long day (in a good way), and it will be much crazier tomorrow. When I'm in super scramble mode like that it's really hard to stay focused on sobriety, But I tried a few times today to just stop what I was doing, no matter where I was. And just give good focus for a moment on everything I've learned...and that helped. Tomorrow will be a test, but I'm looking forward to it head-on. |

| Great, Tesquizito! Do you have a plan for the weekend? Isn't that your vulnerable time? Sex, drugs, rock'n roll? Please be careful and be prepared. If you don't manage your environment, it will manage you. No horror stories on Monday, OK? Take it easy, but take it! warren |

I was talking to one of the roadies, turns out we're both in AA, so we're going to escape together and hit up the nearest meeting right before the concert starts and be back in time to rock.  | |

| Sounds like a good plan, Tesquizito! The fact that you thought ahead is a huge step, I think. While I am doing very well day to day, I've prepared myself for most ambushes. Like what I will say or do in certain situations. Your environment is far more difficult than most, I think. People carry huge assumptions regarding musicians. Your milieu is like being bloody Baghdad as far as alcohol is concerned. You probably meet more new people in a night than most meet in a month. And everyone wants to be able to say that they did "X" with a musician. Been there a long time ago. Be careful and wear a flak jacket! Good luck. warren |

| Day 6. Day 6. Day 6. Its a big deal. This is the longest I have gone without drinking in 4 years. Could it be 5 years? I do actually already feel quite a bit better. I had dreams last night about drinking. Weird but I think this time might actually stick. |

| Hello everyone, Gnomen here, I'm aproaching my 14th day...whew. Last night was rough....all alone in what i call the "Dave cave", which is my rented screen room while I try to get back into my house. I've been riding on a pink cloud doing God shots....isnt that funny, some old timers in AA gave me those terms which cracks me up. I will have two weeks tonight and I'm still as resolute as ever....Thaks to the higher power. I've missed meetings the last few days due to spending time with the wife and kids, but the most important thing is that i havent drank....yay for me. Hard to believe that this is going to be a lifelong thing....but i'm worth it not to mention my family. I've started working the steps on my laptop although i dont have a sponsor yet.....I'm a little scared of that part. Also the sunday morning meeting i go to has some very scary gangbangers in it but even though I dont identify with them I still listen intently and am glad that they are there.... Enough for now....good luck everyone and hang in there. |

| I had a blast last weekend, but man did I have more than a few drinks offered my way. A polite "no thanks" sufficed. I was a little sad that I couldn't just have a drink like a regular person, but I can't with this disease. The AA meeting on saturday was cool, going with someone, new place, new area, new faces. Definitely helped with later that night. So today is day 8. Another AA meeting, pretty much same 'ol. Weekdays are far less intimidating now, but I'm mindful that my mind likes play tricks on me and can flip a switch at any time. |
