    I only read the thread title, so - I don't agree that stopping consumption of booze is the way to go. Terrible idea, actually.

    Problem isn't the booze.

    I do wish you a lot of luck, Mike. It's a helluva hard ride. Most unable to make it.

    I'm gonna try and cut drinking and smoking out for 4 months in the new year, then slowly ease back in around 420 but keep it very casual (once a week at most).

    common opie be honest hamilton leaving texas must hurt worse than getting dragged behind a pick up by the cholos

    remember though he can move to la but he's no angel penetrate him

    also, by your definition, i would say it's time somebody close to jerry jones sat him down to talk about his qb problem

    Half measures won't work. If people could just flip the off switch and stop drinking, nobody would have a drinking problem. Gotta pull out all the stops. This shit kills people.

    believe me, it's not a "half measure". those people that can't flip off the switch don't have the will power that i do.

    after 20 years+ of loving beer, whiskey, vodka, rum, etc i have realized that they never loved me back

    20 years is a long time. Just remember there's a big difference between being dry and being sober. I wish you the best. If you need help with anything PM me.

    that is a good theory, but once i have the 2nd or 3rd drink it always turns into 5 or 6 (or more)...

    i'm smart enough to know how dumb i get. i always kind of shook my head at people that didn't drink at all, for me i just flipped a switch and changed my mindset. can i live without ever having a beer or drink again? sure, i'm goofy enough to begin with, i don't need the booze.

    bigday, hopefully we'll meet again at the bash and eat free food from sbr. looks like that might never happen again, but shari/paco/iwin/mug/etc are up for a vegas trip so we'll have our own sbr bash if nothing else...
