Kind of a boring title, and I want to apologize for not commenting too much on other threads. But I am here for a short period of time most day. Just a quick update: Still sober, don't think about it too much. Working a lot and adjusting to the physical nature of the work. Making progress there, and losing weight. So that's good.

My only thought on drinking right now is that I am so busy, IF I fell and binged for a day or two, I am certain I would lose my job. I would not be able to perform. No way. I look at it as a good thing.

PS: a new guy (newer than me, went into alcohol withdrawal at work, they had to wheel him out. He said he was exhausted but I knew the difference. He had ascities pretty bad, skinny as a rail and each day only brought 1 bottle of mountain dew with him, no food. He hasn't been back.

Hope all of you are fighting the good fight.

Good to hear that things are going well, Jeff.

Yeah, alcohol is fraught with perils.

Hope that your co-worker finds recovery.

I hope your co-worker finds his way, Jeff.

It's good to hear that you are busy and doing well.

Mountain Dew was back yesterday and some very nice co workers brought him two bags of groceries/food. Warmed my heart.

Good for you! Keep up the good work. Physical work is good for the mind and body. Hope Mt. Dew is OK. You sound like you have some very nice coworkers!

That was very kind of your co workers to get him some groceries. I hope that will help point him in the right direction.

Glad you are staying busy and sober.

Nice update!
You're fortunate to be working with a thoughtful group ...which is yet another compelling reason to stay sober.
Great job.
