@MerriamWebster It is “butt-nekkid” and I will call it that.
This is America!

@LloydCh06965157 I was told enjoy the good days, because they will end. Get through the bad days because they, too, will pass. When having a fear attack, a good solution for me is to call a friend and make the call about them. At least for that time, I won’t be thinking about myself.

@DaveMurYYC @WorldofRobert1 Somehow I randomly listened to a livestream with Robert. That was my introduction to him. Very humble and gracious. Sobriety rocks.

The Ex Problem Drinker@WorldofRobert1
I had to finally do something about my alcoholism. All those time before were merely half measured attempts that yielded less than half measured results. Just going to meetings and not drinking in between, was not enough. So I got a sponsor, I found a homegroup, I took the steps, I got service commitments, I worked at changing old behaviors.... I started participating in life as a Giver instead of a Taker. Clean and sober 12/15/14 #recoveryposse

@WorldofRobert1 @raywylie Buy @raywylie ‘s book “a life… well… lived” and read who helped him get sober 38 years ago…

@WorldofRobert1 From the song “bad trick” by @raywylie : “it’s best to be content than to have to always be right”.
English

It was a new concept for me—not jumping into debate on every topic imaginable just to prove I was right.
I had always believed it was necessary, that people actually wanted to hear what I had to say.
But then a wise man asked me: ‘Do you want to be right, or do you want to be happy?'
I chose happy.
Today, I practice stepping back from those discussions… and I’m far happier for it.

Y'all think that whoever wrote "All My Exes Live in Texas" for George Strait might have heard this 1968 song by Willie Nelson a time or two? 😀

@RichOToole First thing to do when you want to stop digging your own grave with self destructive behavior is “put the shovel down”. A great @slaidc song.

@DaisyRifles For me the one that has zero give is number three. Sober since 3/26/09. Without that I wouldn’t have even a chance at numbers one and two.

@miles_commodore I was in alameda across the bay in an office building. Knocked us to the floor.

@Cartel_Cal @DanielLurie @GavinNewsom That’s another way of saying seven percent of the population is here illegally. Add in all the anchor babies and it’s over 10 percent.
English

Whoa. About half a million illegals live in San Fran California alone and they built an economy dependent on them. California is a slave state now. How does that make you feel @DanielLurie and @GavinNewsom? WTF is wrong with you guys?
