44 years sober today. Living a life I never imagined. All I had to do was go to meetings, embrace a fellowship of people, work some steps, change nearly everything about myself and don’t drink no matter what, one day at a time. Simple but not easy. #grateful.
Reminiscing with Terez at #CityOyster in Delray Beach, Florida. This was one of our first date places 23 years ago. ❤️❤️

@taracopp.bsky.social - great to hear you on @npr.org
#1A - sad to hear the topic you’re talking about. Hard to believe what’s happening.

I will be in #WashingtonDC to visit Arlington National Cemetery on Memorial Day weekend. This is my 15th year visiting grave sites for friends and acquaintances that can’t make it to ANC.
Do you have a friend or loved one you’d like me to visit? DM me and we can work out the details.
After another day of worry about whether my international customers were going to keep sending me business, I unwind to ASMR of 2x visuals and sounds of #SBMowing. 😵💫

“Keith Humphrey, owner of Jet AirWerks, emphasized the uncertainty. The #tariffs are not being passed by Congress, he said, so they can be changed or eliminated based on the whim of one person.”

Gold Star Spouses Day brings back a lot of grief memories as well as the hope we had/have for better days.

Trump’s Tariffs Could Deal a Blow to Boeing and the Aerospace Industry
“If tariffs are imposed, analysts said, moving that production to the United States would be difficult, if not impossible.”

They said “if you want what we have, do what we did.” I wanted to be sober so I followed instructions and I did the work, one day at a time for 43 years.
Beyond grateful for a life I didn’t think was possible.

Trust the #NTSB. I worked with them on an 737-400 engine bird strike event in Portland, ME when I worked at major airline. The investigation was thorough and meticulous - nothing was left uncovered. The NTSB is staffed with professional and highly experienced investigators.
My Nephew just enlisted in the #USArmy. Your Mom and Dad would be so proud of you, Freddie. I'm proud of you too. Go get em!

Newly #sober? It’s tough during the holidays or the “silly season” - lots of emotions, etc.
If you’re having a hard time and don’t want to drink or use, call one of those numbers you picked up at a meeting or go to a meeting, online or IRL. You’ll get through it, trust me. Just don’t drink. 😃👍🏽🎄🎅🏽
At a local #Starbucks:
“I’m sorry but I can’t make any espresso coffee drinks. We’re out of coffee” 😳
The end is near.

Congratulations to Sen. Blumenthal on becoming the Ranking Member of the Senate VA Committee. I've worked with him on veterans education, military justice reform and toxic exposures in the past and looking forward to working with his team on behalf of Blue Star Families!
What’s with these tear jerking commercials during the #ArmyNavy game?
Isn’t Army is crying enough?! 😂👍🏽⚓️
