Congrats!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A lot of hard times and hard work between point A and point B. Glad you got there relatively sane

So what do people who are NOT blonde use for an excuse? It really doesn't seem fair. Blondes have more fun. Blondes often get pretty blue eyes. Blondes can use the "blonde moment" excuse. What do we who have brown hair get? Grey hair shows up more quickly. You can see the hair on our bodies from a mile away (which is only a problem, I guess, if you are lusting after someone who doesn't have a fondness for fur). And we cannot use the "Sorry, blonde moment" excuse.

But then again, maybe we don't NEED the "blonde moment" excuse because we are brilliant and clever and graceful and... *leans back in chair and falls over, banging his head on the file cabinet behind him* Uh...oops...nevermind...

Ahh that is why your comments are more consistantly interesting than some of the others.. I have been sober coming up on 19 years. My line is I couldn't afford a boat big enough to carry my booze and me across the pond. What a life I have had both before and after getting sober. Wouldn't have missed any of it and am glad to hear about yours. Pax Steve

Wow JS,

That was eye opening! Congratulations on your acheivement. You have certainly given me some things to think about. Some of the emotions and feelings you described, sadly, I can relate too. That is one of the reasons I keep coming back to GA, because people are willing to bare their soul, share their experiences and make people stop and think. I have been through a rough time the last few months, and I am have started thinking it was time I took more control of my life and stopped leaning on a drink to soften the blow or to help calm me down. Your willingness to share has definetely made a difference to me.

Thank You for Sharing!!!

Hugs,

David

Hey James!

I'm so happy for you and so proud of you!

That's so awesome, way to go! It does sound like a really tough journey, but you made it through and that's fantastic!! I wish you the best on the rest of your journey

That's easy Luc! We get hair dye

Grey hair shows up more quickly. You can see the hair on our bodies from a mile away (which is only a problem, I guess, if you are lusting after someone who doesn't have a fondness for fur).

ah, for that you need an aggressive hair removal program I'm going with lazer, which by the way, OUCH!

And we cannot use the "Sorry, blonde moment" excuse.

LOL, I paid enough for it and I use it all the time!

BTW, redheads have fun too! I'm going red again for Valentine's day

But then again, maybe we don't NEED the "blonde moment" excuse because we are brilliant and clever and graceful and... *leans back in chair and falls over, banging his head on the file cabinet behind him* Uh...oops...nevermind...

Seriously though, James, Awesome job and I'm super-proud of you

Congratulations James. I hope you have many more because you are a great person and you deserve the best.

James, congratulations. What you did is about the hardest thing anyone can do.

I was about to walk to the PO, but then I noticed I needed to wait so as not to arrive while the postmaster was on lunch break, so here I am, browsing your blog for the first time. Great reading (OK, I skipped over the football prognos)! I stopped here to add my congratulations and thanks, thanks for taking a big step toward being with us for a good while longer.

I also wanted to assure you that your bouts of silliness are way down in frequency, though you may not think so. Also, as a blond, you're covered for life, excuse-wise. Today, it's a blond moment. When you're too gray to say that, it's a senior moment.
