And TB -- thanks for the Bike Comments ... I just got my new fairing back from the painters and she is going in for a new transmission soon. I am tired of looking for 6th gear all the time.

Yesterday was 80 for me ... but I have a long way to go to beat any records. I am thinking I have at least 1 year sober (a couple times).
I don't think I will relax on it until I can look back and say "yeah it's been a couple years for me."

Warren: Explain why I have this fixation with seeing 11:11 on the clock everyday ... sometime both times a day.
It shows up in addresses I have to go to and it was even the last deposit amount in my father's account after he was murdered.
It never seems negative (except for the Dad thing, but that was just once 8 years ago), and it is almost comforting when I notice it.
But it happens so often and my friends are so aware of they will call me if they have an 11:11 moment and say they were thinking of me.

It is SO hard to tell from posts out there in the badlands how old people are, and even if they be male or female. . .
I know it shouldnt matter, but I read some posts and think "is this a 15 year old girl?!?!" and it turns out to be some old guy with an odd writing style haha

Still no Dori
TEASE!
for the people follow "the thread"
I think it is ONLY out of respect for Anna that I am biting my tongue tonight
uhg so hard
really, really hard
For the rest of you, dont ask, your lives are better not knowing. Obviously Dori, Jess, Warren, Suz and I are meant to gain lessons from some of the more "abrasive" alcoholics who are "healing" here with us:P
I know I am learning heaps about tolerance, and taking frustrations out on innocent bystanders HAHAH I KEED!!

Good evening everyone! Way to go Classical! Yes, Lisa, my 4 and 6 year olds are boys. Not to get all "Dr. Phil" or anything, but, my kids are one of the biggest factors in me "putting down the jug" (okay, that's an actual Dr. Phil quote, so I failed miserably.) Anyway, if alcoholism is hereditary, I at least want to try and give them a fighting chance of breaking the cycle... And I don't want to be hungover all the time... Or "checked-out" most nights... Or drive drunk at will... Or destroy my brain, liver, etc. Something tells me I'm preaching to the converted, which is actualy reassurring. Rock on Class of December '08.

What is April 3rd?
Tennis, as the parent of an "Adult Child of Alcoholics", as well as being one, I let me share with you my experience. My daughter has never seen my behind the wheel drunk. I never missed a concert, game or match from drinking or hang overs, and she was in every sport known to man.
She did see me cope with every sadness, every stress, every hard time with a glass in my hand. She did see me celebrate every milestone, triumph and small joy with a glass in my hand. She is 21 now. Last year I "partied" with her on every big occasion. Now, I sit home and worry. I don't know if my recent sobriety spurred her recent desire to be far from home, or if it was just the next natural step in growing up and away. I do know I wish she would quit smoking pot and drinking for a minute, so she could evaluate her life without being under the influence. But I can't walk her road, and I can't dwell on what is behind me. Stay sober, and you wont have to wonder if you helped cause any havoc any your kid's lives, at least not by being hammered.

MmmMMmm, mud!! Hey Charles, I haven't had any of my posts removed (that I know of), I don't think all my fellow classmates can say the same. While its true I do enjoy a good brawl now and then, I can think of far better ways to get dirty
you should have your forum title changed to "master baiter"
