I've heard that's a great place to pick up easy women.

This is a little different than your story, but I took some time off between college and law school. My GPA in college wasn't great so I was scared too. Maybe it was the time I took off or maturity, but I took law school seriously and worked really hard all the way through. In the end, I graduated in the top 10 people in my class and scored very high on the Bar exam. Just like many things in life, good results usually come from hard work and determination. I applaud you for going back to school, especially to seminary. Best of luck!

Good for you man. Genuinely.

So changing your name to SaveYouSteve is kosher?

Wait what? huh?

[Mike]

ya know , that's something ive been struggling with. i mean i still talk to the same people and go out and do stuff, i just don't drink and im trying to keep certain words outta my mouth now, but im still the same old fool ive always been, only difference is i want to educate myself and THEN become something different. But i cant just sign up for some classes and start calling myself a Christian and all of a sudden im gunna try to save you guys, and i never will, jesus and your relationship with him whether it exists or not determines that role, at best all i am is a lesson of what not to do and can advice to those pulling themselves up from rock bottom. though i am named after Stephen in bible i look at Paul's example and transformation more that i do anybody. if i can help just one person in my life turn theirs around then its all worth it.

now where is my flame suit.........

You will burst into flames as soon as you walk in.

Grats Steve, that's an ambitious goal. You might consider the Celebrate Recovery program as one to work with. From what I know about you, your testimony fits in w/the whole CR thing.

i was considering that as well, the only thing is i stopped drinking without the 12step program and ive heard that they embrace it.

Identify your priorities and organize your schedule accordingly. Execute small tasks before they become a dilemma.

and it was a whorehouse and gambling den back in the day! This place is perfect for you Steve!

Yup, they do tours I've heard. It was used as a hoosegow when alcohol was illegal, hence the tunnels.

In all sincerity I wish you the best Steve. Try to start living the bible more, not just learning it. Both take commitment, time, and practice.
