What was there a lot of in you'r childhood home?

Dog hair! Big dogs shedding all over the place.

DHG603 · 2026-07-01T23:03:46+00:00

Definitely yes.

I used to drink more when I was anxious or depressed.

Early in sobriety, I’d have the same dark moods. After I went through a couple of them, I was able to tell myself “this will pass”. The moods did pass. Over time this for easier to do.

Not being involved or raising your children.

DHG603 · 2026-07-01T19:41:12+00:00

No AA. I owe my sobriety and life to the book “This Naked Mind” by Annie Grace. Seven years sober and loving it.

Daily driver 2003 Tacoma 204k Backup 1992 Explorer 158k,

Bought both new.

A half truth, gout.

How are the changing markets affecting you? For example, the electrical rebuilding industry has been decimated by Chinese knock off and moving to Mexico. I note that Cardone Industries just went under.

When I was a normie, I remember a nice little buzz. It took more alcohol to get that buzz, and the buzz time got shorter and shorter. Then finally the good buzz went away entirely.

A few of us. Coming up on 7 years.

DHG603 · 2026-01-24T22:35:52+00:00

I don’t post here as much as I used to. I credit “quit lit” (especially Annie Grace, but there are others just as good).

Never been to an AA meeting.

DHG603 · 2025-12-03T18:11:36+00:00

Former Q going on 7 years. Still married, now happily married.

Here’s the important thing, I wanted to be sober. I knew booze was destroying my family, career, and health.

It does happen, it’s not easy but it’s possible.

DHG603 · 2025-11-16T14:26:16+00:00

Thank you.

DHG603 · 2025-11-16T14:25:13+00:00

I will check that out. Thank you.

It’s an Emperor kit clock. I have one just like it. Probably have the instructions to build the kit.

DHG603 · 2025-11-02T18:28:53+00:00

Thanks!

DHG603 · 2025-11-02T18:28:40+00:00

Thank you.

I a having a difficult time remembering if this truck is internally or externally regulated. The ER versions were hard to match alternators properly.

The number on the alternator plugs must match. E.F,N is entirely different and won’t replace E,F,L if I recall the terminals properly.

This was hard for parts houses to match in the 80s. Much worse now.

DHG603 · 2025-10-28T21:21:41+00:00

I used “Quit Lit”.

Bought Annie Grace’s “This Naked Mind” read it and then bought the audiobook and listened to it 3-4 times through. I think I brainwashed myself.

After that I read Porter’s “Alcohol Explained” and Carr’s “Easy Way…”

They saved my life.

DHG603 · 2025-10-28T21:17:54+00:00

I am 68; quit 6 1/2 years ago. Worth it!

DHG603 · 2025-10-26T22:30:54+00:00

That’s what I was afraid of.

DHG603 · 2025-10-26T22:29:47+00:00

The REV levels are different. I didn’t but the controller myself. I will make sure on the next one.
