My partner used to say the same thing to me, he is a dried up broke weak suck that never made past his bar stoole.

I cheer Rob on, and its that kind of attitude from peope once in a while that just confirms once again what i am doing is right. Rob you will be totaly surprised at show just how many sober and non drinkers there are. Also there are some super very successful ones to boot.
The drinking drug thing...been there done that.....Yawn...weak.....me personaly its about doing something with my life..if i have a problem along the way, i kick the shit loose, booze or what ever that is....doing the same shit thinking you will get the sames results over and over there is a word for that its 'INSANE" 
So any way Rob hit me up i will give you a host of very cool heads in this biz that would love to chit chat with ya....there was someone there for me when i decided to stop...that is how it workd buddy...plus i like ya..the favor you did for us in FL i will never forget! |
That's cool as fuck, Mike!!! It helps to have people that you respect doing (or have been doing) the same thing. I know it's going to be tough because tonight was pretty rough. I drank about 10 bottles of water just to go through the motions and I know for a fact that I'm not going to be able to sleep tonight. If I do, it will be after 3 hours of tossing and turning.
I'm glad that you mentioned the shows and people being sober. My one fear is that I do a lot of social events and I don't know how I'm going to handle it. Drinking always took the "edge" off but now I'm starting to realize that drinking is what created that "edge" in the first place. Having a clear mind and conscience thought is where I want to be and I was never able to accommplish that because it was always clouded by alcohol.
Once again, I'm glad that I have someone that I respect to lean on and talk to...it really does help. A lot! Thanks!
