London- I suppose the "eff it" button is something we all have here on SR-we just may have different names for it. My problem is that I like the eff it guy better than my authentic self on some days. I have just discovered this in the past few days thanks to your collective feedback. I'm very comfortable in the drinking guy's skin, not as much in sober skin. I need to work on this as well.
Determined- once again, you made me laugh aloud at the middle-aged punk description. You are correct, the much more difficult path, is the sober one. It takes an amazing amount of resolve,discipline, self-awareness and desire for a better life.
Ultra- still can't believe you are going to run 50 miles this fall. That is a pretty awesome goal.
Scooter- glad I could help- sometimes the objective eyes and ears see and hear things we don't. Just one of the powerful and wonderful phenomenons at work here on Team A.
Pink- how are you doing today ? Still counting down to your awesome weekend? : )
