Hi friends,

Call me Crazy, but tomorrow morning I'm leaving on a big road trip with my wife and two kids One is 3.5 one is 4. (Adopted, they are 6 months apart). We will be driving to Mt. Rushmore and around the black hills. I will keep all of you and your encouraging wisdom on my mind...
I'll check back in on Monday if I make it home in one peice and have any money left, I filled up the tank for $60.00! Yesterday!!!
Have a great weekend/week everyone.

I wish you could all come! Maybe someday we can all have a convention. Can you imagine the "Hello my name is" nametags? that would be a good laugh...

Have a great time Heavy, sounds like fun!

Jomey

Enjoy your trip....I got sober right before our vacation last summer and those memories are some of the most precious I've got! Have fun! Love Jomey

A convention is a great idea - and yeah, imagine the name tags!

Have a safe trip - see you when you get back.

Anna

That sounds like so much fun and I bet your kids will love it, and you too, I hope.

Don't forget to check in here when you get back and give us an update.

A Sober Recovery Convention? What fun!

Cool! Have fun.

Real or user names?

We might want to start out with user names so we would know who we are talking to. We dont all know everyones real name.

Or wait we could put on our real names and play a game of telling each other a bit about ourselves and then guessing who everyone is.

that would be awesome. except I'm not sure what convention centre would be overly agreeable to put us up once our agenda was in place

and usernames for sure to start. I know I certainly don't know everyone's name yet. Hell, I don't know if half of you are guys or girls...

Klynn33

oh yeah HAHAHHAHA - the thread took a little turn there.....

sorry H.

you have a great trip. that would be awesome!

HeavyJ

Don't be sorry Klynn! This is great, I'm serious, I hope some of us can meet up someday.
And, you are correct, who would take us? most convention centers make their money from the bar bill!
I love the idea of the name game..... It's like finally seeing your favorite DJ from the radio, the voice never fits the face. i wonder how our posts paint our picture to others...
I'll post this question when I get back...

Thanks again everyone!

Heavy..

Ananda

yeah...I really like the fact that i can't tell the men from the women here....it is really helping me to open up to everyone as a person instead of a particular sex.

Have fun Heavy and we'll want a full report.

Enjoy!
Blessings to you and your family

Heavy - That is so cool!! I'll miss you, but will look forward to the pictures upon your return. Love your pictures!

Thinking of you, Heavy. With a big smile on my face, because you're probably on your way now (or close to it!) -- without a hangover and filled with anticipation of what lies ahead for you and your dear family.

Isn't sobriety awesome? HAVE FUN!!!!
