    Good eye, I thought only the Byrds were China made. Turns out "The Tenacious is the first main line Spyderco® to be made in China." Still, for the price...sad but true. I don't even need a new knife...

    I think this is going to be my next purchase. I want the Spyderco Paramilitary but cannot justify the price difference between it and the Spyderco Tenacious below. Anybody had one before?

    Alcoholism

    Can you speak with the owner and lightly clue her in on the situation and what you are working towards? You never know, considering her own alcoholism she may be pretty understanding and let you slide out quietly after your shift or not lay a shot down for you without making a fuss. That being said, I have told people my situation only to have them shove a drink in my face on more than one occasion when they were drunk saying "Commmmmme on, have one!". That's going to happen and continue to happen because people think it's no big deal and maybe a bit funny and the first time it happened to me I panicked and came close to having to just get up and leave. I think it takes some time (alot of time) to prove to yourself how much better things can be when you are not using and once you realize that, the temptations start to lose dominance over you. Definitely use this thread as an easy access resource. Anytime you have an urge or are in a potentially bad situation, take a time out and check this thread on your phone. Even just reading old posts can remotivate and remind you of the direction we have decided to head. I'm still trying to make sense of it all and am in no way out of the struggle, but like I said before, the past couple of months I have started to develop a new "understanding" of how I want to live my life and I really like that.

  9. One thing I have noticed about Walter White is that his button up shirt & Wallabee game has been on point since day one.

    Alcoholism

    Good luck Don. Getting to know your habit and understanding your patterns of abuse is a great start to making a change. I agree that the industry you work in is going to make this an extra challenge, and like Cus said, the people in my life in similar situations had to finally give in and walk away from their work "scene" to start making progress. Not to say that it's impossible but you are going to be staring your demons in the face everytime you work. As for me, still at it. Probably been about 9 months or so? I keep understanding and realizing more about myself and why I used as time has gone on (especially from month 7 to 9). I could never have imagined a life with out drinking and spent so much time and energy working towards my addiciton that I lost everything else that made me (hobbies, health, creative motivation etc). When things got so bad that I made the decision to stop fighting, surrender and give up (no more justifying to myself that I can manage my life while drinking and that drinking is "no big deal") I slowly started to rediscover myself and who I was before my habit took control. That rediscovery has been a major motivation to me and a source of natural highs that often last for days. It's a pretty awesome feeling but still difficult looking back at some things I did and making sense of the "why" I did this or that, but when it comes down to it I know the answer is because I was wasted. It has been interesting going to parties or family events where heavy drinking is a guarantee and people ask why I am not drinking. After the initiall "WTF" a lot of people have been interested and ask a bunch of questions and I can indentify a bit of their own struggle that they are probably not totally honest about but begining to question. I have not been to any meetings and would always check this thread on the bus or randomly during the day for motivation and insight so lets keep this thread going. It has been a huge help. *shout out to fat ralphy, the unofficial 12oz AA/NA sponsor
