Awesome. Thanks for taking the time to make the list. I believe being part of this will give me another reason to chose sobriety during my next urge.

I know. Same here. I think the quilt would kill me if I went out now. If the going gets tough, or I feel on the edge, Im going to think about you guys and this thread.

I hear ya - the Astros v Red Sox game last month was the game that got me. Damn those events and there frosty beverages and fancy uniforms.

Oh, dont think I wouldnt. LOL. Done a few night rides. Its fun flying passed the trees in the woods at a high rate of speed at night time. But both head lights are burned out right now. High and Low beam. Plus, the back of my truck is filled with garbage. I feel like crap now. Physically and mentally.
