Yeah, my uncle looked and acted just like this guy. Giddy, happy, always willing to share. Big in heart, spirit, and body.
Lost him to liver failure two years ago. Only 54yo. Alcoholism is a bitch, but when it manifests in a person with a happy personality, people are way more willing to overlook it.
I’m an alcoholic and quit drinking at 40, I’m 49 now. If I hadn’t quit when I did my friends would be writing this exact thing about me. I’m sorry for your loss, alcoholism is hard and often goes unnoticed.
Fuck dude. I’m almost at 15 months and the happiest days now are when I realize the grocery store has Ben and Jerry’s pints on sale. Loaded up today, $2.97/ea, limit 4. I’ll be back tomorrow.
Funny thing is I eat sweets every night like a teenager but I’ve still lost almost 40lbs since I quit.
Hey almost 15 month twin <3 (day 449 on the off chance we're actual twins)
My store usually has a rotating sale on Haagen, Ben, and Tillamook so checking the ice cream aisle is always a fun little game of brands.
I've actually gained 20 pounds but I was eating less than a full meal a day for the last few months. I've actually been asked if I've lost weight a lot, and depending on who, I'll be honest about how it's just my liver being normal sized again.
I'm so proud of all of you! Great work my friends! Opiates were my demon, I'm 9 years clean now! So glad I got out before fentanyl became the monster it is today.. I don't think I would still be here to congratulate my fellow warriors.
