That is very true, although I'll be working and going back to school late next week so we'll see how it works out.

Hi all! Still doing good here. Just was busy busy at work the last few days. Being the manager of a bakery in a grocery store a few days before Thanksgiving is a very busy time. Work basically kicked my ass for a few days. Today is my 1st day off in a week. Have a great weekend all!

Well then howdy gang. My name is camedown, and I'm an alcoholic. I started drinking around age thirteen, along with playing the field of all other drugs. I settled into a nice ten years of drinking and smoking meth at age 27 when I got my divorce. Got clean from the meth, but kept on drinking until it put me into the ICU with pancreatitis and almost killed me. I have six months sober today. Along with SR, I do an outpatient program with Kaiser and am very active in AA. I have a sponsor, have worked the steps, and hopefully will have a secretary commitment by the end of the week. I look forward to getting to know you all.

Fart jokes? You guys should hang out with my daughter and me—we can't get enough of those!
Hope your mood improves, Manz.
I just figured it out, and Dee averages more than 600 posts a month. He is the Postmaster General!

Congrats to us for having you here, Camedown. New members keep things fresh. I like how people graduate to, and then graduate from, this thread. It's like watching a TV show that continuously changes its cast, one character at a time. I was thinking today that you must be one tough cookie. Having dabbled with meth in college, I can imagine the strength it takes to endure and escape that addiction, especially in combination with alcoholism. That's inspiring stuff.
Went to the gym after work, then hit the outdoor hot tub. (Gotta love Southern California winters). Anyway, I had a really interesting conversation with some folks I had not met before. One was a 60-year-old guy who's churning out screenplay after screenplay, convinced he's going to make it big in Hollywood. Another was a 40-year-old Chinese immigrant who works as a software programmer by day, and at night plays the overseas stock markets. He hopes to strike it rich any day now.
Pipe dreams, maybe, but it was cool to see people who are chasing down their dreams. It made me realize that's one of the great gifts of recovery—a chance to actually pursue dreams again. When I was drinking, I fantasized about things I wanted to do, but I didn't take it any farther. I didn't take any steps toward making things happen. I don't just mean grandiose things. I tiled my fireplace a few months after I stopped drinking; I first thought about doing it at least two or three years ago. Addiction and recovery. It's like being stuck, and then getting unstuck. I love being unstuck.
