A year ago: wake up, get stoned, shower, eat lunch, start drinking and put in my bets for the day, go to the bar around noon with a gf and watch games all day, come home, pass out early.
6 months ago: wake up, start drinking, put in bets larger than I can afford to lose, go to the liquor store, proceed to drink myself into oblivion all day and pass out by halftime of the first games. Wake up, try to eat some dinner, drink more til I pass out.
Now: wake up, eat breakfast, do my laundry, AA meeting at 10:30 every Saturday, go out to lunch with some buddies, usually go to the mall after to do some shopping, go to the grocery store, come home and catch an afternoon game/sporting event, cook dinner, then at night either go see some live music or go to a movie. Hit the pillow sober. Tough adjustment but overall my life is much better now.

Saturdays are my "Dammit' days.
I wake up when i hear the garbage truck coming coming up the road, I say Dammit and run outside to drag the can to the road. On the way in i think of all the things i want to do today. Then i get inside and pull up my Bank account and say Dammit again. Make a pot of coffee then say Dammit again when i see we're out of sugar. Then i pull up the free odds and open the poker rooms and pretty much spend the rest of the day saying Dammit over and over again.....

You have come a long way in a years time :toast:
lol, that's a Stock photo I pulled off the internet... But I do have a pool ( I'll have to take a photo of it )
It's nice, but not the one in the photo
we have lounge chairs around our Pool with a few Big umbrellas, outside Shower in the corner
and it's Fresh water.
Only time I've been in a Saltwater pool was on Cruises and a friend of mine has one.
They say it's better for you, but I also like to swim underwater ... so you can't use a saltwater pool for that.
I like my pool down in Florida better. ( Condo )
anyway... when I get out there today, I'll take a picture
They are so much easier to take care of also. He said he just adds a couple of bags salt ever now & then & it's good to go.
Great job HC. I bet you feel more fulfilled now than ever. I think it's been at least 3 years since I can say I was last drunk. Have about 4 beers a week but with kids and job and working out, it just isn't part of my life like it was when I was 20.
You're turning into a great poster. Keep up the good work!
Saturday is probably my least predictable day...
tonight Think Wife and I are going to our favorite wing spot in Denver (grilled wings, also has grilled "pig" wings)
Then to see Daniel Tosh Standup...
Saturday just range so much... Can be getting ready to have a party (when I lived in VA)...If Wife worked would go hang out wife my little brother a little bit, Could be kicking it inside playing Xbox....
