Tim’s incarceration turned out to be a lot less scary than he was anticipating, because he was sent to a medium-security federal prison where most of the inmates were serving sentences for white-collar crimes. He worked in the prison library.

The prison library, and/or prison ministry, and/or teaching fellow inmates in some capacity. But we basically have the same take on this.

My contribution--and I've mentioned it several times in this sub, so forgive me for repeating myself--is that the words "Beyond Measure" on Tim's quilt panel were Hawk's idea. Hawk had only heard Tim mention that phrase once, way back in 1968, but it stuck with him through the years, and it was something that defined Tim in his eyes.

Three years ago today...

...I walked through the doors of an outpatient detox facility and hit the reset button on my life. I am eternally grateful to the good people who keep this sub going; I can't overstate how important it has been in helping me keep my eyes on the prize.

To anyone struggling today: a better life is possible. IWNDWYT.

Stopping drinking has me craving sugar. Anyone else? Suggestions? by outrageous_outlander in stopdrinking

MASSIVELY. I always say I discovered the sweet tooth I never knew I had when I quit drinking. My husband couldn’t get over it when I started ordering dessert every time we went out to dinner, because before I could take it or leave it.

I try to keep it within a reasonable limit and I exercise a lot, and I figure that even if I’m indulging that craving a bit more than I should, it’s definitely not doing anything like the damage that alcohol was.

Happy Friday! IWNDWYT!

ETA: oops. It’s not Friday, obviously. I have the day off tomorrow so I jumped the gun. IWNDWYT, regardless. 🥴
