Alex was the biggest drunk I know, still enjoys the drink but he’s got himself in check these days.
A failed relationship and a DUI.
Think at his worst he was around 250lbs, big slob, not a liquor guy but a craft beer guy. Them heavy beers, IPA’s, stouts , oatmeal brews or what the fuck ever.
Since he managed the bar in Concord, he always had access, incredibly social dude, just a fun mother fucker to be around.
He and Trisha had their little girl, maybe 7 years ago,then they realized that it didn’t work with the two of them, there was polar tensions under emotional levels.
About a year ago, after his blow and go was installed in his run down Jeep, he reached his spot…
Alex is 46, a bit older than me,
He turned that shit around, starting about a year ago.
Every morning in the gym, alcohol intake shifting into a treat, not a lifestyle. That big fucker changed his whole shit.
Shed the blubber off, many years of booze and foods,
So fucking proud of Alex.
He’s a drink guy and a pot guy and a mushroom guy, but that’s it. Still junkie blood but not the scary junkie blood.
A good friend and a real life example of willpower.Big standup fan. Big hair metal fan, AC/dc, Metallica , blues, swamp rock, slayer, Iron Maiden …big influence on that slice of what I listen to,, big influence in general.
And he loves his daughter, enough to work on himself, good dude, flawed, lotta heart. Looking great at 46. Solid frame.Bleeding out his anger every single morning. Go Alex. We all go at our own speed.
