I race lay down go karts 140 mph. Me and my daughter have gotten some little rc cars to keep us busy. Since the fire she pretty much stays up in her room so we're trying to break that.

Wife knows she's very happy. She's not drinking anymore either although she rarely drinks. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Cuezncars, that’ll inspire a lot of people. Thanks!

Really glad to hear you’re sleeping better. Sounds like you’re doing well and nearly over those nasty first few days.

I really respect guys like you who quit during a bad time (the fire). It’s doubly hard. Well done.

37 days sober today longest in 5 years I'm very blessed. I got a dui 2 yrs ago and they had me on unsupervised probation til Jan for a total of 12 months. About 3 months ago regretfully I went to a bar and drank. I got an uber so I suppose in one regard I was responsible. I let my frustrations out on a guy at the bar. Well we went outside to argue and he proceeded to beat my tail to the ground. I guess my excuse was that my house burned to the ground and me and my family lost everything about a month before. So now I'm facing up to 6 months in jail for a probation violation because they gave me a peace disturbance ticket. He got an assault charge.

Sorry I'm venting just very depressed and worried now about the possibility of jail. Alcohol doesn't solve anything for me. I'm a normal guy never been in a fight in my life just trying to get back to work and get our life straight. Anyways I hope everyone is good!!

I hope the court date works out ok cuezncars. The fact you have 37 days sober must work in your favour, I think?

I'm so bummed I went 62 days and broke down and drank. I have been drinking a couple times a week since. I'm so stressed but that is not an excuse. I dont want to drink anymore. I'm embarrassed to even post this but I need to reach out. I hope everyone is doing good and staying sober!
