I only found them via “you may also enjoy” function on Apple Music, and wow. I love them. What a voice!

Thank you Sunshine! The surgery is on Friday, next week, early (CA time) so send me a good thought then. I'm starting these pre-surgery high nutrition drinks (yummy-not) today. I have 3 hernias and a tummy tuck that I'm having. Since I've had several abdominal surgeries, I guess there are adhesions, scar tissue, etc, which makes it hard for the surgeon.
I am optimistic, so at the end of the week, if you all don't hear from me for a little while, I'll be in the hospital.
Feeling good about my sobriety right now, which is nice.

Have a great week. I'll be checking in until Friday, which is a while yet. ♥

Ha, I was thinking it but you said it!

Ally, I hope all goes well

Guys, I slipped and had some beer while seeing some live music on Saturday night. Sometimes I question wether the real me is all gung ho about sobriety. I know AV, AV.

A couple of days before that my wife is telling me that I’m not an alcoholic and I can have few. Either way, drinking became a problem and I’m better off without it. I’m proud of the six plus months, love you guys.

(((Jimi))) Good thing you got right back on it. Good vibes to you. Thanks for the well wishes too! I hope you're staying here on Class of Feb!!!

I hope everyone is doing well. I'm feeling a little low energy, maybe kind of depressed. I think it might have to do with getting another surgery and I'm a little scared. At least my AV isn't bothering me too badly lately. Wed I have to start a clear liquid diet for 3 days and then the surgery. Oh well, this too shall pass.
Have a good one all you lovies! Aly ♥♥

I don't really think it's necessary to even be gung ho about sobriety. It sucks in a lot of ways. But, for me at least, the alternative sucks worse, so I've chosen to be sober, but it's not always easy.

The big rock station in town is finally playing Greta Van Fleet, which I hadn't heard until a couple days ago. I heard one song the other day and I thought, that's Robert Plant, no doubt about it. I finally figured out it was Greta Van Fleet, and all the Zep references I've been hearing made sense. They are dead ringers for Zep.

Thank you, Tiles! I think I'm just having last minute jitters, but I feel everything will be fine too.

You take care too! ♥

Sorry Jimi. I hope you’ll do what’s best for you!

GVF really has a good album out. I do like it a lot. I’m totally hooked on In This Moment. Just killer. It’s cool to see women getting real respect in the rock and metal world. Lzzy Hale is the sh*t, and Nita Strauss is an unbelievable guitar player and cool as hell. She came down to the front row at the end of a show and gave my son a pick. There’s some truly killer women rockers out there now.

We're right with you Aly

Jimi - I had many people who told me that I didn't need to quit and I wasn't an alcoholic - but none of them lived my life or got inside my head.

I know the drunk me and I know the sober me, and sober me is the one I want to live and die as.

I also know that any thoughts of me successfully moderating is a total fantasy - it's not going to happen, or least ways not very long.

I'm not sure how old you are Jimi but I shared this with another group"
Every single day is a day we never get to live again, and as we get older our store of days to come gets smaller...

if its a choice between a drinking life and a non drinking one, the non drinking one wins hands down.

Its not even a contest.
I get that drinking probably felt like a good idea - you and the missus have had some ups and downs, and being together in that sense was probably looking pretty good....but it's not sustainable Jimi, and it's not authentic.

I'm too old not to live authentically anymore.
