I also confess I'm bored AF.0 -
I confess that I believe in God, ( I call him the Creator). I make sense of the world in terms of what am I here to learn...and as a parent what I am here to teach... and what has the Creator got in his curriculum today? I have learned that love is something you give freely if you want it in return, that loving yourself is an important first step and our lives are by our design, we can see the darkest parts and wallow in the shadow of that darkness or we can step into the light and feel the sun warm our hearts...Kasner... welcome ot the light1

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.
Dude, you're a better man than me. Admitting the problem publically, putting it out there. I admire you. You're *my* hero.
Plus, the man-love for projectsix!5 -

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.
These two guys are the real deal. Add in Dzu and they are why I'm still here. Legit. Genuine. Humble. Real. Honest. Helpful. We wander through life at times being the lone wolf. I've always been the social loner. Surrounded by friends, family, and crowds but forever alone. Until I met these guys.
@Kasner1975
Shawn... I'm not gonna rehash it all or I'll have to buy you a ring. But you are legitimately one of the most inspirational people I've ever met. I read your words and know you've lived through hell and survived.
@projectsix
Brad... Consistent. I've never asked a question you didn't give me a solid answer about. You stay real and humble regardless of the attention. As you've said, you're just a regular guy farther along on the journey. Reading what you wrote above, I'm adding you along side Mr. Kasner on my "Most Inspirational" list.
@thedcubed1
Dzu... I admit I don't know you as well but I'll remedy that. But you've got a helluva sense of humor, a winning smile, and a consistency that I admire. I look forward to seeing you post every day and knowing you're gonna bust both these guys balls about something in the comments. You're a genuine good guy.
Thank you all for being in my life. Right now, you're keeping me going. Wolf pack... that sounds about right.5 -
All of the above posts makes me proud to be a part of the mfp community. Whilst the silly fun threads are fun to waste time in its awesome to see real, honest, kind and caring posts.
So much support and positivity. Well done you guys ..
Every one of you who has posted and encouraged and helped uplift your fellow mfp has shown what a truly magnificent person you are. Im so happy and honoured to know you guys.

Yes ma'am. Me too.1 -
There Is nothing wrong with wearing your heart on your sleeve... The key is learning to be discrete about who you allow to tug on that sleeve.
My confession today... I love winter... the cold... the snow... I love it so much that I used to work a job that saw me outdoors for 12-16 hours/day... the coldest windchill I ever faced was -90 c. (south east Saskatchewan... when I woke up that morning the TV indicated -45 air temp with a 50km/h breeze...0 -

No judgement but remember our talk! Its happened to me multiple times and in hindsight everytime I'm like "I'm a *kitten* idiot".
