Proud of you TG. Always.

S.

You have gorgeous eyes!! You are an amazing person, Tommy. You can get through anything....and we are all here for you!! Yer one in a million Babes!! :)

HHNT ;)

I have faith in you my friend. It will be very difficult, but you can do it.

Interesting looking eyes. The muti-color is cool. Happy HNT!

WOW!!!
I am so proud of you!
It's not going to be easy, but it will be worth it, trust me.
(been there, done it and bought the shirt).
I'd like to say life is easier without drinking, but it isn't...
It is more worthwhile though :)
((hugs))
and tons of respect!

Good luck on your journey. HHNT!

Hero I am pulling for ya!

My hats off to you, my friend. It will be tough up ahead... but know that you are never alone.

Tommy you can do it, I'm rooting for you. You have the most captivating eyes, windows indeed.

Happy HNT sweetie ;)

you have friends here that you can call when you experience those moments of weakness that you're bound to have.

action sounds so scary, though. just put one foot in front of the other. all you have to worry about is the very next step. you've already taken some good ones, all of them aren't as difficult as the first. now you have momentum on your side.

good work, TG, i'm proud of you. i'm glad you have an honest friend. most people don't have that and no one ever holds up the mirror for them. i know you've had some rough shit come down on you recently, but sometimes it takes that kind of crash to make us realize there's a problem. (just for us hard-headed types, though). i'm sorry that's what it took, but i'm glad about the changes you're beginning to make in your life.

you have a big cheering section here! you can do this!

hey i will celebrate every single day of sobriety you have. it's about small steps. every good decision and follow through is noteworthy. whoever she is, i'm glad she's there. those beautuful eyes are gonna shine again.

I don't think there is anything that I can say that would be even remotely helpful to you, Tommy.
Just please know that I am thinking of you, and wishing you strength in your battles.

Much love to you my friend. I know you can do this.

You have such tired yet strong eyes. I have faith that you'll pull through this. You are a good man & you are stronger than you realize. All I could possibly offer is this simple verse, no matter what your faith - it is a great help. I hope it helps you as it has helped those that I love.

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.

Tommy, you can do it, and if you fall off, get right back up and do it again.

Being an addict sucks...being born that way is just a rotten fucking deal.....I still think that people who are born with that addictive gene are also given another special gift...that ability to persevere, and to reach out for help when they really know they need it.

You can do it baby! I know you can......

you're stronger than you will ever give yourself credit for. we're all here supporting you.

(((TG)))

Hang in there! Sounds like you are starting on the right path... but it isn't easy at all...

I'm cheering for ya... or if it helps, I'm ordering you to stick with it! ;-)

HHNT!

First steps are often the hardest. Just keep taking steps - whether they're big strides or little bitty babysteps, they're going to move you where you need to go. Congratulations are starting.

And great picture. HHNT!

Looks like your on your way to progress - and what a long road it is!! Good luck to you - I'll be checking on your progress!!!

Oh yeah, and Happy HNT!! ;o)

As many others have already said, we're here for you. I wish you the best...& of course, a Happy HNT! :)

I knew you could. I knew you could. I know you can.

changing topic: You have absolutely fabulous eyes.

wishing you the best.... :)

don't be so hard on yourself though, there's a good guy in there... it's all I see.

anyone who says BFD to 3 days of sobriety has never had an issue with addictions of any kind. ive had a lot of friends whove tried (some successsful) to go sober. i used to tell them that the first days were the hardest but the reports coming back to me contest that statement so now i say that the rest of the days are no harder than the first. if you did it for 1 day you can repeat that 1 day for the rest of your days. or until the very last one at least. i say at that point you drink all you can. whats it gonna do? kill ya?
good job man! one day at a time, take it easy

Hey..I've been checking up on you but haven't left a comment. So sorry to hear about your marriage, that REALLY sucks.

As for quitting drinking...one day at a time, baby, one day at a time! You can do it!

Oh, and am I not worthy of being on your blogroll anymore since I took a break?? :P I am back, btw.
