I live across the road from the university and down the street from the hospital. I often go walking through the university grounds in the evening because it is very pretty. I walked past the college bar tonight and it was packed. Yeah I was envious for a brief moment and thinking back fondly on my own university days. Where did the time go?
Just a few minutes ago I heard a commotion outside and looked out the window. 22 students left a house across the street - a few lads were kicking each other in the street before they all climbed into taxis.
Yeah I'm glad to be finished with all that. I live a fairly quiet life now - although I do have my moments for sure! I was pretty quiet at school and the nuns at my secondary school used to tell my mum that "the quiet ones are the ones to watch!"
But yeah, I try to live an honest life now and go to bed with a clean heart.

Thanks for part 2, Dee.
I didn't quite ruin college with drinking. My freshman year is a bit of a blur but I buckled down and didn't party much after that. I was too busy working and studying. I didn't get out of control on a regular basis until right after my first divorce, but when I got married again and had my son I was good for several years again. It was only the last maybe 4 years of my drinking that I got to a point I could not control it at all, or very little. But I packed plenty of really stupid stuff into those years. I'm so glad that's over. It really wasn't much fun.

Dee is Jamming? That sounds like fun. Thanks for part 2 of the thread.
I didn't wreck my undergraduate experience with drinking but I certainly didn't do myself any favors. I didn't really grow even as I gained knowledge

Congrats on gunshot SU! 
Hi Jen! xo
I forgot to tell y'all what I saw last night taking my godson home. First there was lots of drunks on the road....first football Sunday of the season I guess...and when I turned into godsons neighborhood there was a massive roadblock. Two drunks had been racing and plowed through a house. Ironically it's the same neighborhood where I got my last DWI. Such awful memories but thank god I didn't hurt anyone, but one more time and it could've been me. Believe me, I drove home thanking god I was sober! So many lives ruined by booze and so much collateral damage.

talk about another perfect day... tooled around the lake on kayaks, took a break to eat some sammies on the shore at a picnic table, then went bak out... lake was like glass... not a good day for hot air balloons tho... eating lunch I saw a balloon trying to take off... barely made it above tree tops... move maybe a hundred yards - a guess from a mile or so away... then it got up to a couple hundred feet and stayed there... I mean it stayed there... the only cloud in the sky was a puff hovering over the nuke plant at about 1500 feet... it didn't move all afternoon... took the ultra lite on the evening run, small perch and small mouth bass... was worried with the bass cause last thing I needed was a musky to grab hold of it... scouted the lake... watched sunset from water, moon was high above, beautiful night... even the lady in the dash board new the quickest way home... I pull in front of house with 3 kayaks on trailer and our 'stuff' still wet in the jeep... I'm untying first kayak and all I hear is crickets.... hm, I go inside and my helper is taking a shower... um, a little help outside please...
ice cream, x-files, bed... going fishing tomorrow by myself - for real. need to catch some bait then the one in a couple hundred chance to hook into a musky...
have a good evening... looks like stillers got this one...

Hi everyone - after the kids got to school I went back to bed for a bit before work - every cell in my brain and body felt completely drained and exhausted! just got home a bit ago and feeling better. My youngest is at 5th grade camp - crazy!
Thanks, LBrain for your post about pride and telling others. I read it several times. I want to hide it all and just fix myself, but that obviously didn't work.
Trying to figure out what all to do for my plan - I never want to be in that place again and want to do whatever it takes. Thinking about an addiction counselor, or some kind of group therapy. I'm already reading and listening to a lot of things.
good night to whoever might still be up w/ me out there!
