    Quitting Alcohol

    Funny thing about that "relax button". In my case, what I learned was that the cure was causing the disease. Most times I "needed" that first beer to take the edge off. But the edge was actually caused by the beers the night before. Fogginess, stress, and worry all caused by alcohol and...

    Quitting Alcohol

    I've got some I'm gonna have to blow the dust off of too if I ever drink em. They used to be the FIRST thing I looked for.....I don't even notice them anymore.

    Quitting Alcohol

    Yes it IS sad!! Sorry to hear about your dad. I'm sure there are other's here who can relate. But this is a thread dedicated to the ones who decided to make a change for the better. For me it was a lonely, intimidating, sometimes confusing choice. But the positives FAR outweigh any anxiety...

    Quitting Alcohol

    Good on ya for taking the plunge!! Quitting alcohol is like anything else you learn to do. The more you do it (don't drink) the better you get at it!! One thing I started doing early on is reframing how I thought about it. I started telling myself and others, "I don't drink", not "I quit...

    Quitting Alcohol

    One of the hardest parts about the people I was with was them feeling like they needed to tip-toe around me and not drink in order to support me. LOL... It's just beer guys! Not kryptonite!! I appreciate the thought but DAYUM!!! My triggers are MY problems that I need to learn to deal with!

    Quitting Alcohol

    A large part of the sugar craving is the carbs missing from drinking alcohol. But the dopamine hit from sugar is is REAL!!! This is a GREAT point about the depressed state alcohol either adds to, or puts and keeps your brain in! During the early parts of trying to quit I'd go a while with out...

    Quitting Alcohol

    I can't really tolerate coffee anymore either. The caffeine has me geeking out big time. I can only handle about a half cup anymore. I've switched to teas and water in the morning now. I had the same problem with sugar. Candy, ice cream, soda... you name it I was into it BAD!! TONS of...

    Help pick my load

    Lower POI not likely caused by the shooter based on previous groups. More likely barrel harmonics throwing shots slightly lower. Also a sign of increased velocity/pressure.

    Help pick my load

    49 looks to me like it's starting to show the signs of a coming pressure spike (looks like a double group to my eye). And as OP mentioned before it the absolute MAX - no where to go or allowance for temp swings or cooking one in the chamber....

    .223 for bear, mountain goat, deer, elk, and moose.

    +1 for TAC. I load to 2.260 on top of 24 grains of TAC. I tried 24.5 but the accuracy wasn't any better. YMMV.

    Concealed carry?

    You need to check your laws and see where you are covered by constitutional carry. In Mo we always had open carry in any publicly owned space except government buildings, schools etc. Constitutional carry allowed us to carry in these same spaces only now you could conceal the weapon. A...
