News "Obesity is a disease not a decision"

**Mr. Flopnuts** · 07-07-2013, 06:47 PM

Welp, use it against me later, I don't give a ****. I lost 185lbs and put damn near every bit back on in the last 3 years. Went from running 40 miles a week, to drinking a gallon of bourbon a week. I've been trying hard to break the chains of drinking, but it's really easy to do after a long days work. Never drank in my life before I moved down here. Alcoholism runs in my family. Funny how life works. But I know it's not a disease. It's a series of horrible ****ing choices. I'm searching for the willpower to break the ****ing chains.

That's what I love about you, bro. You're so ****ing honest.

So you've made some bad choices in the last 3 years. BFD.

You've done it before, (lost significant weight) and you'll do it again if you want to. Start small, break those chains, then power on.

It worked for me.

I have the blueprint. That's for sure. I don't mind putting myself out there on this board. If one person can relate and find some kind of comfort in knowing they're not alone in the world, that's good enough for me. We need to hook up this summer bro. I'm going to get up for a Cards game before the season is over. It's non negotiable.

I haven't gotten to the point that I'm ready to go down that road. I've been drinking for a short period of time, and feel I can do it with will power. I'm not opposed to it however if it becomes something I feel necessary.

I have three weeks off from September 13th to October 6th.

Let's make it happen. Set a date in that timeframe, and I'll be sure to set aside the company tickets.

Easy. That's a deal, my friend. Never been there, and super excited. I'll check dates at work, and set up a time with you within the week! Thanks, brother! I've driven through the Lou, but never really been able to check it out.

Check September 12-14. Mariners are in town, and I know I have tickets to at least one of the games in the series, probably the Friday night game. We split seats with another company, and I don't have the schedule in front of me. We can buy tickets to any other games we'd want to go to.

That's the one! I had no clue they would be in town. I definitely want that if we can get it. Happy to pay for the tickets. I couldn't ask for a better game! Holy shit! I wouldn't mind going to a couple of games in that series as I'm going to come for the weekend. I'll put in for the time off tomorrow. Book it!

I went for 7 years and was sober for that long.

I enjoyed it. Met some nice people and made some nice industry contacts too.

You wouldn't believe who is in AA. Hell Ringo was in town one week and kept coming to our club.

But in the end it's up to you.

I started feeling like I wanted a drink again and went out and did more "research" as they call it.

Life is definitely much better sober and cheaper too.

****ing drinking is expensive.

****in' A it is! I won't drink complete dog shit, so I spend at least $50 a week as Jim Beam is the lowest shelf I'll drink.

Maybe its something in the water down there in the Ozarks. I drank like a fish down there too.

Like I said before, I just got tired of it and figured there was something more to life than getting drunk all the time. I didn't really have a plan as to how I would find that "something more". I just assumed it would be evident if I wasn't drunk all the time.

But whatever works for you, just move on to the next part of your life.

That's funny. The only other history I have with heavy drinking was in 1999...when I lived in Branson.

That was only 6 months though.

I got faith in ya! Just a matter of replacing one habit for another.

For instance meth instead of alcohol will kill 2 birds with one stone.
