One my techs sent an industrial microscope (nothing crazy but still $15k) out for repair once and I learned, after the fact, that I should have been way more specific about packaging.
It showed up at it’s destination in so many more pieces than it left in. So very many.
OMG!
They write jokes for each other every year that they have to be read, without knowledge on the air.
Che is trying to get Colin killed. I’m convinced. 🤦♂️😁🤣❤️

To his credit, he became an EXPERT at shipping anything after that. The next thing he shipped was delicate and I told him to pack it like it was stereo equipment.
After that, any time he’d have to ship something he’d ask “Stereo?” and I’d answer accordingly. He had no more
I appreciate that whoever did this infographic took the time to label the toilet. 🤦♂️
This whole thing is surreal.
Here’s hoping that there’s still hope.

I just told my wife I want to be a be able to FT Law before I leave the house every day.
Me: “Law, this is what I’m wearing today.”
Law: “No, sweetie. Not as long as there is breath in my lungs. Take me to your sad, goddamn closet now.”

If he wouldn’t have ignored that half pound lifting restriction he wouldn’t be in this mess!
Seriously. This is so messed up and I’m sorry you’re having to deal with this. 🥺
I want a drink so badly. I NEED a drink.
I don’t have any alcohol and I’m not going to get any. I just need to say it out loud.
It’s there. I waved to it. I acknowledged it. Now, I can give it the finger and ignore it.
❤️👊🏻

He makes me smile every single time.
I woke up a few weeks ago truly not sure how I’d make it through the day. I watched one of Mychal’s videos and climbed out of bed. Life needed living.
For what it’s worth,
@mychal3ts
you made a difference in this recovering person’s life
I want a drink so badly today. SO badly.
I really don’t want to go to a meeting.
So, I’m getting ready to go to a meeting.
Because…one day at a time. ❤️👊🏻

On this anniversary, I always remember the story of Todd Beamer.
He was on Flight 93. He tried to call his pregnant wife from a phone on the plane but could only get through to an operator. He told her what had happened on the plane and that they were going to try to bring it
One of the guys I began my sponsorship with has been in the wind for months. He has a unique name and, every now and then, I check for news online.
I hadn’t checked in a while and thought to do so tonight.
I found his obituary. 💔😞
#RecoveryPosse
I can’t believe I’ve just celebrated my second New Year’s Eve and Day completely sober. Seriously.
I’m SO happy and SO excited for the road ahead.
❤️👊🏻
#RecoveryPosse
I called my sponsor today and tearfully, sobbingly said “I need a drink so goddamn bad!!!”
He talked me down and helped me remember who I am and how I’ve gotten this far. ❤️👊🏻
#RecoveryPosse
I was shopping behind a couple who were both wearing this sweatshirt. I asked to take a pic. My voice broke. The guy said “You ok, brother?” and I just stared at him. He pulled me into the biggest hug and I sobbed. He sobbed with me and told me it would be ok.
#BeKind
Well, we moved into our little rental house today. One year and one week ago we moved because of my addiction.
Today is a big step. I’m ready. ❤️👊🏻
#RecoveryPosse
Me: “Does this cough medicine have alcohol?”
Pharmacist: “Yes. About 8%.”
Me: “Ok. Is there an OTC alternative?”
He spent a while with me and helped me find the best alternative without alcohol.

@DerekNeverFails
The same type of father who has an app on his phone while his teenage son has the companion app so that they can monitor each other’s internet usage for porn. 🤦♂️
The ignorance of people insulting Post Malone and his performance is astounding.
He’s one of the warmest, kindest, most talented musicians of our time.
People need to look in the damn mirror.
I just want to sleep. To sleep without the horror of my past. Something…. Anything. There has to be something that will help.
Not picking up. I’m sober. I’m just so completely exhausted.
❤️🫂🥺😞
#RecoveryPosse
I talked to a long time friend earlier tonight.
He’s not an emotional guy.
He said “Before we go…this is the best you’ve sounded in years. No stammering. No stuttering. No ‘Wtf did he just say?’ It’s the Pickle I met twenty years ago.”
I. Sobbed. So. Hard.
#RecoveryPosse
I have a recovery brother who has relapsed and is likely in the process of actively drinking themselves to death right now.
And there’s nothing I can do.
I know this is a test. I’ll pass it.
But fucking hell, this sucks.

@autcareandshare
I worked at Wendy’s in school and a man came through the drive through one day and was around $2 of what he needed. I pulled the money out of my pocket to cover him.
I came in the next day to an envelope with a note to thank me and a $20 bill. ❤️🥹
I can’t see through my own tears to type but I still have much to say.
I am heart-wrenchingly lonely and still loved beyond measure.
How does one reconcile that? ❤️🫂
I can’t thank my
#RecoveryPosse
enough for the love I’ve gotten on this morning’s post. I’ve NEVER had that kind of response and it warmed my heart SO much. ❤️
Day 300: Today is 10 months!!!
Holy crap! Ten months sober. I’m SUCH a different person than I was this time last year. I’m proud of that.
I have a long way to go, but I’m proud of where I am.
Thank you all for your help! ❤️👊🏻
#RecoveryPosse
I’m so thoroughly broken.
Will every fallen body in recovery have such light in their eyes, a tenderness in their words and warmth in their heart?
This is lifetimes harder than I ever could’ve imagined.
May I have the strength to emerge in one piece.
💔🥺😞
#RecoveryPosse
Tonight was my first real meeting. I’m humbled beyond words. The way everyone looked me in the eyes when they shared…because I was the newcomer…I have no words. I was given a long list of member numbers to call. I mustered up the voice to share and they were all so supportive.
My thing is done already. My charge was plead down and I just have some fines to deal with. It’s over after a year and a half.
I cannot even describe the profound relief and immensity of the weight lifted off of my heart. ❤️👊🏻

#WeDoRecover
I have a thing tomorrow. It’s a court date that’s been a long time coming and the big thing remaining that I need to put behind me from my addiction.
So, I’m going to be the NEEDIEST person in your feeds for at least the next 24 hours.
I apologize in advance.
#RecoveryPosse
You guys never cease to humble me. I had a rough day followed by another. I asked for a hug and over 700 of you obliged (and one hard “no” 🤣).
Thank you all so much. So, so much.
#RecoveryPosse

When I was early in my TRUE addiction to alcohol, I would visit the same liquor store and buy little shooter (AKA...airline) bottles of the same thing and the person checking me out would tell me that it would be like
"It could be purchased cheaper at XYZ price." and I would
It’s been really rough lately and my mind has not been a happy place. I should have given last night’s post (since deleted) more thought before actually putting it up.
Thank you to the kind soul that was worried enough about me that I received this. I appreciate you and love
I envy people who are like “I take half a Benadryl and sleep like a baby.”
Meanwhile, I take an Ambien, two Benadryl, two Melatonin, and two Unisom and my brain is like “WHAT SHOULD WE WATCH?!?” 🤦♂️😂
Today is the best day….ever.
It’s my 25th anniversary with my beautiful, amazing, forgiving wife.
It’s the day that we found a small home for at least the next few months that we can start our new lives in.
We do recover. We SO do. ❤️👊🏻🫂
