Twenty-four years ago I was coming off another self-imposed crisis and decided to do things the AA way. I got a sponsor as a guide, a book as a map and joined a group of fellow travellers.
I recovered from alcoholism by doing the Steps the AA way as laid out in the book. Along the way I had the opportuunity to sponsor people and my life got better and better.
At about 5 years I returned to the Church of my childhood and developed a prayer life.
Today I don't have a single problem and I've become an expert at doing nothing. Life could not be better.

Well isn't that special?
Program works for assholes too.
Congratulations Jim! So you and Mike have traveled the same path? Done the steps the AA way, got religion, etc.
find a way out and stay out without having to turn into a saint or one
of the brainwashed cookie cutter clones.
Today I don't have a single problem and I've become an expert at doing nothing. Life could not be better.
Bully for you.
And of course you owe it all to AA.
I get people stepping out in front of the bike a couple of times a month.
Somebody piss in your corn flakes? The reason I don't have problems is b/c I deal with things as they pop up. I don't let things get into my head by dealing with them immediately.

Sorry. I'm quite aware of my current health problems with my ticker (I
need to get a tooth pulled this afternoon too, and they don't know why
it got infected) and I know that working the AA program even harder than
I did (remember that I used to boast about how many times I took a
4th/5th step?) wouldn't have made an iota of difference. Now it does
seem that most everything is now under control, although I do have that >nagging diagnoses of pulmonary hypertension to deal with, so maybe if
you ask me the question in a few months I'll feel differently.
Tomorrow is my last session of cardiac rehab so that is definitely a >milestone.

they take up both lanes of the trail, it's hard to get around them. Most
of our jogging/bike trails have a 15 mph speed limit and sometimes the
newbie bikers think they are the only ones on the trail and come around
the turns like they are leading the Tour. Just a matter of time before somebody gets killed. Real bikers don't use jogging trails for training. :-)

Well it's a little more complicated then it appears .... because there
is actually only one poster to araa ... The 'me' (me being anyone) and
the persona's the 'me' creates ... so If you happen to be the 'me' you
got like ultimate control, but if you're only a persona then you are
at the mercy of the 'me' and have only a limited role.
Now if that wasn't confusing enough ... there was until recently two
lurkers ... following araa ... but with the recent outbreak of NA
drunks going on a long thread bender "Lucky" spewed all over the araa landscape and withdrew ... so now there is only one lurker and nobody
knows for sure who it is unless it is them.
Johnny is a troll, but then, he's really not a troll ... he's really
LaRocca ... acting like Johnny the troll ... he gives out his cousins
PA phone # with call forwarding to his Mich phone and then talks to
people as Johnny and then these people think Johnny is actually real
... so we have Johnny who isn't real that everyone thinks is real and
then we have the twins who everyone thinks are make believe when in
fact they are actually real .... LaRocca is a genius ...and he ain't
even real.
Hope that makes for a clearer picture of the whole mess!

Congrats Jim..... Keep those pedals turning!
We have tried taking small salty pretzels with our sugary Gu's
and it seems to help a little. My problem is taking the time to
get them down with a mouth dry from running and then drink. But
since I am running so slow now in my old age I have decided it's
better to be slower than nauseated. :-)
I have a theory that people cannot judge a bikes speed and it is
not intimidating b/c of the small frontal mass.

Sorry, Jimbo, but at 8 a.m. on ANY DAY, one should be IN BED and not

bed WHEN I want to, then getting up WHEN I want to. My definition of
HELL on earth is having to get up early. Yuck. Getting up early was part
of "wage slavery"!!!
night, thus giving you a chance to fall asleep, which might allow

Young Gabriel (((<< loves >>))) these bike rides. Game little shit with
his one gear bike. Hasn't been that long since we pitched the training wheels but he's already on his second bike (thanks to Diane and her yard sale finds) and I've begun looking for something a little sleeker, with at least /three/ gears for him.

Keep you eye out for bike swap meets. Clubs put them on and I think REI may also have them. Good deals can be had.
We have 2 a year here and I rent a table for 20$ and can sell off all the stuff I'm not using.

I have no choice. One of the chemo drugs I took 2 years ago has
left me sensitive to intense heat. I usually get up at 6 am so it
is no big deal for me to be on the bike by 7 or 8 am. in July and
August. Once it cools off a bit I'll be able to do very long all
day rides.
