Ran my first 1/2 in Houston on Sunday. 7:17 pace with 1:35:22 finish time. Not bad for a 44 year old.

I also just wanted to circle back on the eve of completing 8 months without alcohol. Â
ÂThe positive changes in my life are palpable, remarkable and numerous. Â My relationships with my wife and with each of my kids are amazing. Â I thought I was a good dad and husband before I quit drinking due to my effort and by how much I truly loved my kids and wife. I am so much more centered in every interaction and I can feel the emotional trust they are giving me. Â My apologies if I am not describing it well.Â
ÂWith my work, it’s as if I ripped a governor from myself.  I have always been pretty successful but addled with anxiety about work.  I am just running laps around my former self in approach, drive, work product, interpersonal relationships at work and results. Â
ÂI know there will be challenges and I am only (almost) 8 months in, but I dare anyone to bet against me.Â

I never drank the way I really wanted to when in public. I would control my drinking (would control it but wouldn't enjoy it) until I got home and could drink the way I wanted to.Â
Socially, many of my friends would drink more than I. The difference was they chose the amount they drank, enjoyed themselves, and when they went home, they went to bed. For me, the only thing the few drinks I had would accomplished was to make me more thirsty.Â
Man this part describes me so well it’s almost like I wrote it myself. Â

There are a number of “first” groups that are usually geared towards anti-mask and whatever other privileges you can imagine. Usually the hot topic of the moment. A lot of parents are using that slogan/name like in other districts to try and solidify their “movement”. I think the ones in DSISD are trying to for a PAC out of their “first” group.Â
I don’t think it is a coincidence at all.Â

it did not say anything. apparently the police were not called which is infuriating. it was a first grade teacher valley view elementary that was assaulted. the principal apparently met with the parents and encouraged them to enroll their children at a different school.
so tired of this district being a bunch of fucking pussies when dealing with these shit-for-brains. trying to get info on the piece of shit that did it.
I used to live in that part of the district (we are now in cedar creek/hill country).  Put this shit on blast if you do find out who it is.  These people should be doxxed , shamed and harassed.  His employer should know about it as should all neighbors.  Fuck these assholes. Â

We need to have a Surly watch party for the Dripping Springs school board meeting.
Also, keep an ear out for folks reading from the same script - it's been happening.
Yes they are using the term “parental rights” in their anti mask crusade and anti CRT paranoiaÂ

I should add, I am very much aware that this is, at least in my case for the time being, a minute by minute battle.  I certainly was tempted to blow it off and drink while relaxing at a beautiful resort in paradise.  Vacation resorts cater to the drinker, and it certainly is everywhere.  I have a few mental and physical guardrails that work very well for me.  My therapist tells me I am good at “playing the tape forward”.  If I am tempted to grab a drink or 10 after work or while at the beach (or wherever I am), I will play the tape forward.  I recognize that I might feel temporarily good from drinking, but I can visualize all the bad that comes with it very specifically in order to get past it.  I consider my sobriety a gift to myself and I don’t want to go back and that outweighs any short term relief that comes with alcohol.  As for physical guardrails, I lift weights for an hour every morning at 7:00 and run 4 miles at a 7 minute per mile clip during “happy hour” every evening. Â
ÂAs I sit on the plane heading back from the Big Island, I just can’t believe I am 6 months sober and just did 2 weeks of vacation without booze.  Well done Abogado Peligroso!

Sorry to post and run.  Until July of last year, I couldn’t have pictured myself going a day without drinking.  By my 40s, I was drinking 2 bottles of wine a day at least.  My anxiety was off the charts but stopping wasn’t even a possibility.  One Sunday last July I had gotten pretty drunk and slipped when I was going upstairs to feed the cat before bed. I bumped my head on the stairs and cut my forehead pretty badly. My wife (a normie) had gone to bed a couple of hours before, and was already pretty mad at me for drinking so much that evening.  When she woke up the next morning to find me covered in blood she told me (not the first time) that I needed to make changes or she was through.  At that time, I decided to take a year break from drinking.  It was going very well but was never a permanent thing in my mind.  I made it 4 months but started drinking again on election night.  By December I was drinking every day again.  There wasn’t really an epiphany for me.  I just realized I was powerless to alcohol and needed to stop forever and that I couldn’t do it on my own.  I am not a religious person,  But with the help of a great therapist, I have made some amazing changes.  I just finished a 2 week vacation in Hawaii that would have typically been a boozy mess.  Instead it was my first sober vacation. Sunsets have never been prettierÂ

I have never posted on this thread but lurked while I was still drinking. Â Today is my 44th birthday and I have been alcohol free since January 31, 2021. Â I am an alcoholic and it was the best decision I ever made. Â This is the best thread on surly. Â Life is great!

What kind of lease has an escalator like that for one month?
This doesn’t happen.  If they pay percentage rent on gross receipts  on a monthly basis then they will have a big bump in their percentage rent in a busy month.  Â

Bumping this as I am taking the wife this July.  Staying 4 nights at The Cape and 4 nights at the Grand Velas.  We probably need 5 off resort restaurant recommendations.  We have never done Cabo before so I have no idea what we are doing otherwise.  Any can’t misses?
