I lost my job and my car blew up yesterday... :/

[Lo0p]

I got fired for not being bossy and not telling employees what to do when they were all already doing their jobs.

On my way home I noticed my car was running super hot so when I got home I checked it out and my coolant was super low and there was coolant in my oil. Best case scenario this is a blown head gasket---not good.

So what did I do???

I borrowed my mother's car, went to the gym and had a great back workout. Then I went home fully expecting the demon to rear his ugly head and drink the night away. He never came. Sure I was pissed off, depressed and the works. The thought of drinking even a single beer, the craving never happened.

I watched The Daily Show and went to sleep.

Thank you Dr. Sinclair and Dr. Ameisen for giving me my life back!

Total number of drinks I drank every day for the last 140 days:

Wonderful! We look for any excuse, and you had them by the barrell full, and didn't cave. Isn't it a powerful feeling?

Thanks for the kind thoughts everyone! :thanks:

I didn't not cave in though, the thought to drink never even occurred to me...even after I was anticipating that it would!

The last three times I drank in the last month were because of social situations too! Thanksgiving (1 1/2 drinks), poker game at my sisters house with the guys (3 beers), watching games with my dad (5 beers over the course of several hours).

This freedom is awesome!! :yay:

Just want to say that you so rock! I have benefited from and deeply appreciate your MASSIVE contribution to the bac info on this forum. I checked out the TSM forum and am blown away by your courage, determination and persistence; and by your dedication to helping others in so many ways. Don't really know what else to say except thanks and I deeply honor your (wacky) path!

I'm not gonna' get involved in the other thread - it's just so not important compared to what you have done in your own life and what you have offered.

Thanks LoOp. Your a true inspiration. I am my self about to begin tsm and naltrexone. I would love to hit the gym instead of the bottle. Your doing so awesome! I hope one day I am as empowered as you.

Great job!!!

Should be very proud of your progress, so Sinclair and bac???!! I had no clue.... Nal did nothing for me, but I wasn't too motivated back then......

Pretty sucky to get fired for such a crazy reason but in these days, esp in FL, they fire for anything!!!!

Good job!!! :goodjob:
