I stopped doing drugs.

The hard stuff. Not asprin or whatever.

Kinda reluctant to even share this but 20 years is crazy and I'm amazed I'm still here. In fact at my 10 year high school reunion the first thing some friends would say is "man..you are still alive?" Well that says it all.

I will have the occansional hand full of beers from time to time and I enjoy wine at the casa. But that's about it. I try the Ben Franklin approach.

I'm very lucky and blessed all at the same time. :D

I still have flashbacks/tracers/randomness/missing time that goes on.

My oldest almost daily asks me such bizzare questions that it's almost like being high.

Example. Yesterday, while in my office, we are going over some homework stuff and she just comes out and asks: "dad, have you ever had a pet giraffe?" HUH??

And my wife can't remember anything past an hour and I can't forget anything. I'm like I'm the one who did all the drugs.

It's interesting that you remember the exact date. Was there a specific event that led you to quitting?

Not really a specific event per se.

Just reached a point where I had done just about everything and it wasn't floating my boat.

I was seeing a chick that more or less paid me to party with her and she had some high level connections. I could see the writing on the wall this was going to be similar to Less Than Zero and guess who Julian was going to be?

Of course all this is going on while I'm searching for deeper stuff so maybe that helped.

Thats Great..congrats..did you stop cold turkey

Yes. Now to my benefit, I wasn't rolling in the dough so that cut down on some of the access. That might have helped.

Had I been the broker guy then during that time. I shudder to think where I would be.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
