Yesterday my mom celebrated her first year of sobriety at AA. Everyone at the meeting said so many good things about her and her progress and the wonderful things she ha sstarted to do with her life because of her sobriety.
I was so proud of her! My mom was an alcoholic for years, and I have so much respect for her for taking control of her life again. She has always been my role model, but seeing her yesterday just inspired me that much more.

This is a flip-side to the hate thread. Does anyone out there have a person of significance, who makes them so proud, or inspires them? Who do you look at for inspiration when you are experiencing a rough time or just in need of that extra boost?

And you ... you retard ... you can't even fucking spell (alcholoic) alcoholic!

That's what she said, what is your point?

Or do you have a point?

Are you implying people with harmful addictions cannot achieve great things and be admired?
 
Now your mom needs the love of a good health minded man - :eyebrow:

C'mon guys, read goob's post and think about what steele said. Although open to interpretation, he asked a completely legitimate question.

Yeah, I see that.


"Yesterday my mom celebrated her first year of sobriety"


"My mom was an alcoholic for years.... she has always been my role model."

In all fairness, Steele has had nothing to do with the recent DontStop bashing.
 
Yeah. Me too ... and I see another day of this ignorant shit starting needlessly.
 
Ahhh man ... how can I be mad at you ReproBro when you say cool shit to me? I'm just sooooo sick of seeing people slamming this chic it's getting to the point I wanna just blow up my comp.

There was no sex in her post. All she said was she loves her mom and her mom is now dry for one year ... and celebrated her mom's guts for getting that done ... she gets an undeserved digg. It's just gotten past the point of being old to the point of shear idiocy. And the puke can't even spell? Lol ... :headbang:

He was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, and poor DontStop just can't catch a break.

His post and your response kinda reminded me of Pee Wee's Playhouse when someone unknowingly said the word of the day and they all start screaming. :laugh:

My biggest heroes are my parents.

My father, despite being a bilateral above the knee amputee, brought his family from a shit hole country (USSR) to America and went from being piss poor to middle-upper middle class. He never let the handicap hold him back, he drives a car, walks on prosthetic legs and holds a full time job. I know of completely healthy people who sit around all day collecting welfar, my father refused all that shit and we were off food stamps within our first month or so in the US.

My mother's giant heart has and will always inspire me. Didn't give too shits about my father's handicaps, and overcame religious, familial and societal pressures to be with him and raise a family together (My father is Jewish and my mother Christian Orthodox, in Russia the two didn't really mix). She worked in a sweat shop while my father got his watchmaker's training, then cut hair and did odd jobs while going to college full time and got her BS in Nursing, all the while taking care of me and my brother. She now works two jobs, cooks, cleans, does the laundry and still has a smile on her face all the time.

Last but not least, Patrick (P-funk) is a real inspiration to me. From the time i met him he struck me as a good person. The stories he told me of practicing his guitar for 12hrs a day in his room to get his degree, then moving to NYC to try and make it as a jazz musician (eating rice and tuna b/c its all he could afford), then getting back into training and dieting (carb ups were fun with him). Before i knew it he quit the job where i met him and became a personal trainer in the city. Put on like 40-50lbs in a couple of years, became a well respected trainer and moved on to bigger and better things in AZ. He's the one guy where, when he says he will do something, i have no doubt in my mind he will do it.

I hope i achieve atleast a fraction of the things the above mentioned people have achieved in their lives'.

How was I bashing Don'tstop?

Once your post aren't a compiliation of a bunch of sentence fragments, then correct my grammar, but not now.
 
Yah my mom, even as an alcoholic was a role model because she raised me as a single parent. She got herself a great paying job.
Even as an alcoholic she was able to run marathons and teach spin classes. She's a motivational person. Once she tells herself she can do something she does it.

My mom did the same thing, except she took care of 2 kids.
And she did it without being an alcoholic.
