No apology necessary at all. I canāt even tell what youāre apologizing for. You all have been very helpful. I am very sorry for your loss Donna. Virtual ex huh. 
Cool. And I AM tired of being fat old drunk and hangover. Thanks for the advice.

Iāve been told Iām blunt and some take offense, lol
So I went to the gym and while working out I listen to John McAndrew. He knows all about recovery and writes some wonderful songs about recovery. He gives me great inspiration check him out. http://johnmcandrew.com I found him at family week while my daughter was in rehab at Cirque Lodge in Utah. He moves me and heās been where we have been and are. Yāall have given me a lot to think about. I wish I started this after my birthday.

Well Iām from Boston and I too can be pretty blunt and cuss a lot. And can be pretty sarcastic. But since Iām new here Iām trying to keep it toned down. And even if someone was pretty harsh I figure they are just trying to help.

Total New England thing having a trash mouth. I go to visit my daughter in the Midwest and her friends are all shocked when I drop an F bomb or whatever. Cracks me up.

So I guess I can have 3 plus weeks sober or āreset my tickerā? Again I am overwhelmed with all the caring from people I donāt even know. Iāve only been on here two weeks. I feel like Iāll be letting you all down if I drink on my b-day. The most wonderful recovering addict in my life, my daughter, heroine addict, told my wife and I she wasnāt going to stop and go to rehab for herself. She said she was going to do it for us. And you know what? Sheās probably about 10 years clean! Itās been so many years we donāt keep track anymore. I guess weāll see what happens. Oh and I had a nice chat with wifey about it. She may still be drinking but she understands and we can talk about it. So what a great day!! Iām so happy I brought it up to yāall. And the wife.
Note to self: Donāt mention the trip to Europe in the spring.

I moved to Florida 16 years ago.
Also lived in a few cow towns; Halifax, Hanson and a few more. Are you still up there?
Nope. Got out when I was 18. Never looked back. I like to say Boston to Austin. Met a Houston gal and raised a family and after 36 years moved to Durango CO. Cuz both kids moved to the LA area (for sober living) Now living in Flagstaff AZ and part time Santa Monica

Durango is a sweet placeā¦husbandās sister lives thereā¦always enjoy visiting.
Do you like Florida? I donāt think I could live there. Besides the heat and humidity. Kind of a crazy place isnāt it. But I do love Carl Hiaasen Books His Florida stories just crack me up. Iām on Squirm right now. Love Skink. Have you heard of him? And I love Dave Barry!! Heās a funny f%$#

Been to Naples. I thought it was nice. Lots of old people and lots of Walgreens. Got my parents to finally get out of the Boston winters one year. They hated it and it was a disaster. lol. Dad complained it was too flat the whole time. They were born raised and died in the Lowell area. Just couldnāt get it out of them I guess.

I think we may become half backers tho and move to North Carolinaā¦the humidity here is like winter in Vermontā¦It lasts for 7 months. So much we love about where we areā¦beach, beautiful parks, flat and plentiful bicycling and mountain biking, sunshine!!! We miss the mountains, fresh air, well water that tastes delicious and the forestā¦plus hippiesā¦I miss hippies.
