@louieruvolo I had to consolidate 63k dollars in debt when I got sober. I paid it off in just over 5 years, and now I have 8 years of sobriety, and no overdue payments on anything.

@street_trashed I really clung to this need to get a year sober. But my bubble burst on day 366 when I realized I was still an alcoholic... Just hit the 8 year mark, and now I don't really fixate on the time sober, I just focus on staying sober today.

@The_HappyDaddy This was EXACTLY how it played out for me.

[Gilbert Proulx @GilbertProulx3]

@louieruvolo Every measure of my life got automatically better when I quit drinking. Not all at once, but some indicators improved immediately.

@steve_boots But none of them said "f*** you", so that's a win.

@tammyrobert 🤣🤣🤣

@street_trashed It takes time for sure for it to become a supporting character in your life. It certainly consumed me for the first couple of years. Almost 8 years sober, although I still identify as an alcoholic, it rarely consumes space in my brain!

@AleanaYoung @alexmarz I'm sad you never knocked on my door during the campaign! But I still voted 🧡 today!

[Gilbert Proulx @GilbertProulx3]

@Gregor1313 I "tried" many times to stop drinking. But I just wanted to get drunk. When I hit bottom and quit for real, sobriety became the best thing that ever happened to me.

@complicatedpast @thesoberheathen It's AA or bust, and if you're not going to at least 9 meetings a week, your program is shit, and you will relapse. You must eat, breathe, live AA to stay sober. 😅

@steve_boots Here I am, thinking this was about the BB gun and bear spray incident at Miller today... silly me.

[Gilbert Proulx @GilbertProulx3]

@street_trashed My wife went through hell with me when I got sober. Partners of addicts are truly the most amazing people. Good on you!

[Gilbert Proulx @GilbertProulx3]

@steve_boots She was also finishing her report cards in the ER while we were waiting. So that was pretty cool too.

@teachcrap I had a student one year who did that after phys ed class. Every class, without fail. He has no idea to this day, how impactful those kind words were to me.

@tammyrobert I hope they differentiate clearly between Shotgunning a beer 101, and Shotgunning - How to bring a firearm to work without consequences 101. I believe they're both currently in the works.

@jeremycockrill It would be even better if you were proud to announce a renewed mandate for the GTBC!

[Gilbert Proulx @GilbertProulx3]

@ProfSmithSask How many diplomas do we think @jeremycockrill will personally hand out, just to avoid doing his actual job?

@CommonsensePaul @MattBSask 😪 oof. That's way too many. Especially in French Immersion.

[Gilbert Proulx @GilbertProulx3]

@CommonsensePaul @MattBSask Ah! All good! Either way, it's still a gross number. And they usually lighten up the younger grades, which means the older grades likely will be over 30!
