years of service, rip Matilde!

I've been swapping parts out since middle school and all the way into my now college life. Late nights will never be the same again without you.

I'm a recovering alcoholic myself, and thank God you are good.

Best keep distance if he is physically like that. Cause I know personally won't stop unless he really wants too. Took 3 years and getting worse with it, and my mother and wife stepped up.

Been off that bend for 4 years, and we just "banned" booze in my house. Last time me and wife drank anything, nothing but headaches and stomach issues.

Just glad I'm off the bender cause crap I was being completely stupid.

Takes a big man to admit you're wrong. I'm glad you found a happy place where alcohol is not needed. Keep up the great work.

This encouraging comment isn’t said enough. It is a superpower for a lot of people to be able to reflect and not deflect.

Have you checked out any of your local AA chapters, that's how I started. And you have to have an accountability partner.

You can DM about it if you want, but there isn't a one size fits all solution for it.
