1. I'm an alcoholic. There I said it. I drink 6-18 beers night and I have since I was 12 years old, and I'm now 41. It is something I desperately need to change, but it is what it is.
2. I idolize @projectsix. Not in a bad way, but in the way that sees that he's made a change in himself that I can't fathom. Have you seen this guy?! A hundred pounds down and looks like a superhero, with all the physical and nutritional info you'll ever need as well. Funny, cool... That dude is my goal.

Very solid confession Shawn, that takes balls not just to admit it to yourself but to admit it to your MFP peers publicly. That's a long time to drink that much and we're not getting younger but you're stronger than you give yourself credit for. If you need the help, it's out there. If you've reached admittance then you're ready. My mother is 38 years sober and owes every single day of her sobriety to AA. The whole group thing for me is a little odd personally but AA is very much legit. I've seen it help so many people and it's because everyone there is sharing the same journey. The stories you'll hear from people will run parallel to your life and blow your mind. With that 'new' future of yours coming up, you really have to consider the longevity. Even though you seem to not believe in yourself some of the time, just look around you, you have support and so many people who do believe in you. You're awesome as !#$@ you just need to believe it.
I don't really know what to say about #2! Bro hug? Make out? Honestly man, I just had reached very rock bottom at 31 years old in my life when I had my daughter (2nd kid). I was severely depressed, barely got out of bed, ill half the time. I lost myself at some point and it was just a downwards spiral. One night I was up on the computer at 4:00am writing a 2 page email, tears streaming down my face that I needed to be around to see her graduate, I needed to be a grandfather, I wanted to grow old. So many things that I could see could not happen if I didn't fix the problem. I just didn't want to die. I stayed up that night until about 10:00am researching what was making me fat. For the next 2 days I spent hours upon hours on forums, blogs, just anything I could absorb to figure this $#@! out. I ran into a guy named "John Stone" who logged all his food, all his exercise and spreadsheet'd everything. I had no one to help me so I used his site as a bible. There was no MFP at that time! I just really grew into a true love for the iron, fitness and nutrition and it's my only hobby. I was lucky that I had a true passion for it, so it's not a chore at all for me. I'm no one special, I just reached a point in life where change was not "wanted", it was very much "needed" for the longevity of being around for my children. Maybe that's where you're at? You have the power to make these life changes at any point.
Since I'm seemingly a superhero, I find it only fitting to set my profile pic to the Caped Crusader! DUN DUN DUN DUN DUNDUNDUN DUND UNDUN.
Nice! great story. although...i read Caped Crusader as Casper and my mind went straight ghost mode :P sooo...that said...i guess i'll not whine about my 15lbs and just keep getting on with it!
You guys are the heros...both of you. word.2 -
