Jim and I decided to head down to the Saloon last night. There were going to be a bunch of sober people out and nobody had to work today.
Saw a hot guy playing pool. He took his shirt off halfway through the night, and everybody suddenly became HUGE pool fans - [...]

I had the opportunity to visit with some childhood friends this afternoon. You see, my parents moved out of the house I grew up in some five years ago. Prior to them moving I was rarely around either. So to see some of the old neighbors and the kids, was quite a [...]

Michael did such a beautiful job answering these questions in his recent post that I decided to give it a go. Of course, reading his blog you just know that he rattles this shit off the tip of his tounge. For me, I have to think about what I write. Like the [...]

Jim told his story tonight at Hazelden. He did a great job. He’s an awesome speaker, getting both laughs and applauses. It’s quite an honor to be asked to speak at the treatment center that’s pretty much invented the current 28 day treatment program prescribed to most sufferring alcoholics and addicts.

My birthday was very nice. Friends put a lot of effort into it and it turned out to be a gay ‘ol time. I got some gag gifts - “Gliding Jesus” action figure, an entire bottle of “Rimming Syrup” and a kitty-launching gun. The food was fantastic, and the cake was quite [...]

Good lord, yes, I’ve turned 26 today. Thanks, Jim, for announcing that to the world. I am at work today. Saw my shrink this morning. AA meeting this evening and then gathering with friends afterwards.
I don’t feel that much older, but the thought of turning 30 at this point [...]

… as a former bed-wetter. Yep, you read that right. I wet the bed every night until I was 8 years old.
For as far back as I can remember there was a plastic sheet that wrapped around my twin mattress. Laying down on my bed or turning from side to [...]
