I would have to search for a while to find a pic of me without a beer in my hand. I always, deep down kinda thought I was a POS for that. I like your music

I understand exactly what you are saying.

 

Almost word for word on my experiences, including "drinking buddy spouse".

 

My pic for Tools is even a drinking picture.

 

Trying to "not lie to myself" anymore re: the damage alcohol has done to my body and my life.

 

Hang in there man!

when I think back to all the dumb, risky stuff I have done because of alcohol, boredom is o.k. yes, it seems boring because your point of reference is with a buzz. If you are like me, you started in high school and haven't stopped (until now). there had to be a reason you decided to join tools. you must have come to some conclusion about your life, health, behavior. what was it? regarding the boredom, I just have to get some new friends that don't drink. My entire social network is based on drinking. I think if I find a girl that is at MOST a light social drinker I can deal with that. My ex wife was and still is a drunk. we were quite a couple. married my drinking buddy.

all questions»

I made tremendous improvements through first 21 days of Tools, but did something that I promised that I wouldn't do, and have been lost for the past three weeks. Immediately after that, I found that I couldn't do Tools. I felt like I was being preached to and just felt totally guilty and resentful.

 

Everything gained (from Tools) has been lost (or more properly, from a weight perspective, everything lost has be re-gained), but losing weight is/was only one of my "issues".

 

I am regularly doing things that I promised that I would never do again and can't seem to break the viscious cycle.

 

Should I attempt to continue Tools at my existing point (Day 24) or start over completely?

 

Thanks,

CMB

I joined TOOLS because:
 My life is a mess. Very poor physical condition, type II diabetes, , 60 pounds from my desired weight, but probably 80 pounds from "normal". Poor performance at work and home,you name it. Heard Devlyn on Jason Ellis show and was so impressed that I immediately joined tools.
You are offered your dream job. What job is it?:
 Private chef, or teaching Civil War courses in a very small college and town in the South.
My favorite domestic animal is (if you choose dog be specific with breed etc):
 Dog. Had 3 mutts for 17 years, lost all to cancer. Haven't had a dog for 2 years, but just "rescued" the best dog in the world from a shelter. Name is Murray and he is a golden retriever and Nova Scotian Duck Tolling Retriever (no, I didn't make that up).
Why:
 Unconditional love. Murray lives to please and is the most happy when I come home.
A famous Chef will prepare anything you want. What do you order:
 I am convinced that no one could cook better than me, but I cannot make any baked goods, so some type of incredibly decadent dessert.
