Mistaken Addiction
An interesting thing happened tonight. While at the poker table, a gentleman who’s good friends with my father & I, grabbed my card holder and asked what it was.
My 30 days, A.A. chip.
Your what?
A.A., Alcoholics Anonymous.
What?! You’re an alcoholic.?
Never really sharing it so openly in real life, I didn’t look him in the eyes and [...]

My First Cash Game
It’s scary, in a good way, when you can go somewhere for 10 hours & not even know it.
$5 in the tournament (33 people) & I finished 6th, no money. I turned around and played the cash game ($50 buy-in) for 5 hours and walked away with $25 profit. I was up $100, but didn’t [...]

The Differences
I’m following SuperSober (hate the name though) on Twitter & they posted a good quote today.
I may not always do the right thing, but at least today, I can usually tell the difference.

The Anatomy of a Camel
Insomnia is the mother of the absurd. I use to spray paint 15 foot sheets of plastic, program mock websites (buyyourowndamntampons.com), or make constellations out of silver coins on the 15 foot walls of my apartment. Tonight, I carefully disassembled a pack of Camel No. 9’s.
Whatever it takes to pass the time…

I ended up going to a meeting tonight when I couldn’t afford to play at the $30, no-rebuy, tournament tonight. That was a completely unrelated statement, I just hate missing no-rebuy tournaments and I’m still a bit bitter about it
At the meeting my friend shared a story about this past week, how he [...]

Temptations
In the 31 days, I’ve had plenty of opportunities to stumble. Each was a moment that I said, “Fuck you,” to alcohol, instead of, “Fuck it.”
During my first week of sobriety there was a bottle of wine & a half-gallon of Long Island Ice Tea that would have been easy to drink from, while making [...]

30 days, alcohol & pills.
Changes I’ve noticed.
I don’t wake up shaking any more.
My memory is a lot better.
I’m thinking more clearly.
I enjoy the little things again.
I’m testing my blood sugar (diabetes) 4 times a day, instead of 10 to 20.
I’m getting more things done.

How Fungus Can Save the World
This is a very geeky, but great, video on the benefits of fungi.
Mycologist Paul Stamets lists 6 ways the mycelium fungus can help save the universe: cleaning polluted soil, making insecticides, treating smallpox and even flu…
A delicate dance between dinner and death.
The mycelium is consumed by the ants. They become mummified and BOING, a mushroom [...]

Fifth meeting. I ended up sharing the life approach that Chaz wrote about in Winning at Loser’s Games.

A Question for A.A. Members
I bought a Miller Sharp’s today (non-alcoholic) to go with my sandwich and as I walked out of the grocery store, I wondered, “What would people at A.A. think?” Not that it’d affect my personal opinion on it, but I wondered about their take on it. I don’t think I’d ever bring up the topic [...]

Get Gmail Inline Images
I received an email with 62 photos for a video project I’m working on. Instead of the images being an attachment, I got them as inline images. There’s not a button or an obvious option to get all the inline images, so you have to right-click each one and save them individually. That’s just way [...]

The Late Night Bird
A friend and I were talking about how it was weird to see each other online during the daytime. We’ve been chatting during the wee hours of the morning because we’re both nocturnal like that. So when he signed off today and said, “The early bird gets the worm,” I had to counter with something [...]

I went to my fourth meeting Sunday night. On the way there I told the friend that I go with, “It’s been a week now and I’ve missed a total of 3 days. Missing one day, I’m fine. Two days in a row though, feels like too long. Not that I start craving a drink [...]

Bumper Wisdom
During our outing today, we were behind a truck with some bumper stickers that made us laugh. Keep in mind, we’re in the heart of the Bible belt, where the idiocy of Glen Beck & Rush Limbaugh are praised, so not only are such bumper stickers appreciated, they give us hope

National Geographic: Meth
Jules and I visited the library today. I got a few books and found a documentary called, “World’s Most Dangerous Drug” about Meth in the United States. While it covers the ins and outs of the drug, the movie also weaves the story of a couple (Michael & Janelle) into it that is just sad. [...]
