I also knew it was time to give up the ghost well before I actually stopped drinking. Every time I poured that first drink, something inside me said "you can't keep living this way", but I knew that after I consumed a few that I'd forget that voice. So I'd drink more and more to keep that voice quiet. Eventually, I started drinking earlier and earlier in the day...because when I had my wits about me, my situation looked very dismal. When I was drunk, it didn't look so bad! Just put on the ole' blinders and drank my problems away. When they came back the next day, I just popped another bottle of vodka and I was back on my high. Bills and letters piled up in the mailbox, voicemails mounted in my inbox...the only people who contacted me LESS were my friends and family.
I wish I'd never got myself into that situation, but I'm glad I've found a way out. Sobriety is working for me. It's great to see that it's working for so many here also!

The most comprehensive, nuanced explanation I found on 'in like Flynn'.
- In Like Flynn - straightdope.com -
No go on us hooking up to Wireless Internet. If we can see this one Tower like the proverbial Sore Thumb, it's at capacity until an upgrade some months out. Other Towers and frequencies on them were either too weak of a signal, or bum for some other Techie 'reason'. We tried it all.
So, I'm pursuing the idea of us putting up a small Tower [~30' tops] from which we would get monthly service. Mebbe make a few Shekels/monthly.

Good stuff BigS. New people need to hear this is possible. I know I need to hear it everyday.
Soz as for that little tattoo thing... LOL It is bigger than planned but I love the details.

All kinds of birds come together in song. They know when it's time. Time to sing. Time to restart new and fresh with the sun.

That tattoo is REALLY impressive Ken - I don't have one myself and don't like the one's my daughters have but yours is the business
I believe old swashbuckler Erroll was as fond of boys as well as girls
Well said BigSomb. Last few years of my drinking the first drink would, without fail, result in me passing out eventually.
I was a lousy drinker and had no business doing it
