I wonder how many similar stories are out there and how many times all of us made fools of ourselves, or ran into trouble with the cops.
My last beer was in 1998 and since then never again.
Great of you to lay it out like this for all to see and I sincerely hope that this post will help someone else that are struggling in a false live built on the foundation of the alcohol demon.
Respect mate and here's a non-alcohol Hive !BEER
I have so many wild stories that I could have included, but this post would have turned into a book. So many things that just wouldn't happen in my life now happened back in the day thanks to being a drunken fool, surrounded by other drunken fools.
Thanks, man, I really hope this post provides something positive for others who are undergoing a similar struggle. Maybe some entertainment for my idiocracy wouldn't be so bad either. I like to find a way to laugh at everything, even if that means making a joke about my own errors.
Oh yeah, I also have stories about my wild days, but alcohol was an escape for me from a very sordid and tough life. Having no father in a tough neighborhood also didn't help very much.
But there you go, as a man that can laugh at himself finds life so much easier to bear. I said to myself, myself this is a good guy and myself agreed :)
Good night from a hot South Africa my friend 😊
I imagine a difficult life like that would push you to want to drink just to escape. It is a great thing that you no longer have to run away from things in your life that make you miserable.
I’m jealous of the warm climate you are enjoying. We just got our first snow of this winter. It’s almost all melted finally, but I still see a few remnants here and there. I need the beach!
It was never easy, but it taught me very valuable lessons that led me to the decision to start making my life count and Subsequently I followed my heart and established The Papillon Foundation. This is now our 21st year and we have seen many miracles in our charity work.
So without all of that training I would never have been able to do what we do today.
Just my way of looking at life.
Simple solution to your cold, put a summer visit to Cape Town in South Africa on your travel list !LOLZ

Boo boo clusters.
@daltono, I sent you an $LOLZ on behalf of @papilloncharity
Use the !LOL or !LOLZ command to share a joke and an $LOLZ. (1/6)
You made the right choice, I think that we both can agree there. 21 years is a long time and your consistency surely has been able to reward you and others throughout that time.
The closest I have come to Cape Town is visiting in a video game, but in reality, is bound to happen one day.
Thank you and let me tell that from the day that I made the decision to stop, in fact when I put the last half full bottle of beer down, my life started to change so dramatically that it is unbelievable.
I became a new man with a new future and a new wife and I have never looked back.
I see my life as a book divided in chapters and each new chapter is a better one. The old chapters since birth are history, as nothing can be edited in them and they are the closed chapters that led me to where I am today. So no need for me to go and search the old chapters or to carry their burdens and regrets in my mind. It is what I do every new day that counts, nothing else.
Whenever you rock up in Cape Town one day, tag me or tell me on Discord and I will show you around.
For free of course 😊
I can remember my life-changing in a big way as well. Many things that I have accomplished would not have been possible if I were still in a drunken stupor.
That is a great way to look at life.
Me pulling up to Cape Town...
