2013 was my first full year in the army. That's when the permanently damaging injuries and drinking began.

2013 was being forced into grad school because there were no jobs, while living with an alcoholic parasite that drained all my money mostly bad

Uh, 2013 must have been one of those years. Thankfully I started getting help the year before that.

2013...life wasn’t bad. I was in a marriage that seems to be going well, I was getting ready to PCS to a new place and get out of Houston which we didn’t like, and things were generally ok. Then Christmas of 2014 my wife asked for a divorce...that was bad but things worked out great. Now I’m remarried and we have an awesome one year old son. We hate where we live but we’ll PCS in another two+ years.

2013 was the year I had to move back in with my parents because I got my PhD but couldn't get a job with it. So that sucked. Helluva 30th birthday, that.

In 2012 I stopped drinking due to clinical depression, which stemmed from being a caregiver for my mom, who had Alzheimer's; in 2013 she died from it. It's been a slow but steady climb up from that.

Sounds like y'alls 2013 was my 2009. I ate the Great Recession with both barrels, and left Augusta with my tail between my legs. Please tell me all of you are at least on an upward arc now?

Got the wife back, have a nice house in a nice town now, and I’m studying IT / Programming at a community college and she’s finishing up her masters and working. We are doing good.

I moved in with my wife and got a relatively well-paying job in 2013. I think we also got our dog in 2013.

I'll survive. I'm in a better mental place to some degree, worse to others, but my desire to eat lead isn't one of the worse ones, so I'll call that an upswing. A close friend of mine is moving out here next year. We've known each other 17 years, closer to each other than our own brothers. He wants to buy some land up on the other side of the mountains from me, build a kit house on it. Large plot for decent cash, he'll have the well and septic put in, build his place, then we'll start work on my cabin on the back end of the property. I'll dig trenches and bury pipe, conduit and cable to my shanty. I'll be mimicking his kit house layout, without the extra bedrooms, with dimensional 4x4s stacked horizontally, drilled and aligned for threaded strut to feed through, torqued down with nuts at each layer, and be concreted into the foundation below. Basically looking at spending as little as possible to build a solid as hell structure, slap a roof on it and stuff it with insulation, because it gets cold at 9k feet. I'm cautiously optimistic about next year, but I have a feeling we'll only finish his place, maybe get the structure and roof up on the cabin, but probably won't be livable until early '21. So I'll be a roommate again for a while. I look forward to dark skies again. To seeing the work I put into land as worth my time. Struggle isn't a bad thing, and I'd rather struggle with nature than people anymore. CRUSTY MINGE fucked around with this message at 06:42 on Dec 21, 2019 |

Cutting soda and alcohol the fat just sheds off Not throwing shade but if you drink you’ll just forever have that puffy look

It's seriously true. Removing almost all booze and sugary drinks (soda, juices, flavored coffees, etc) will cause you to just shed weight regardless diet.

I'm in a different lovely place, but I'm in better shape physically and mentally, and have a clear goal and know it'll get better soon enough, so I'll call it a wash.

I got drunk at the Christmas party last night, came home early and crashed girls night at the house with my wife and her friends making cookies with the kids for Santa. by all accounts I was highly amusing, and not an rear end, so I’d say that’s an improvement over years past.

Nostalgia4Dogges posted:Round up the young GIPers it’s beanie story time I really gotta remember to live post more, I’m sure it’s more interesting that way. The kids exchanged gifts and someone had out the board game Life Jr, so of course I show up like “deal me in” while drinking spiked hot chocolate. So Life Jr involves a bunch of cards you pick up and have to complete actions at times, like sharades, or an impromptu scavenger hunt and poo poo. So I’m trying to get the kids to guess “scored a goal” by miming kicking a ball but I slipped on some wrapping paper and probably have a low key ankle sprain. They enjoyed it but didn’t guess the right answer so I didn’t get the point 🤷🏻♂️

2013 was a good year for me since I was close to being done with grad school and racing bikes at a pretty competitive level. My legs were beautiful. 2019, my legs are only sub par....
