1200 days since my last drink of alcohol.

You go, Zip!

Keep it up.

Nice job kirley

Congrats Zippy.  Now let's go celebrate with a couple of shots.  No really good work.  

zippy this is great news...

but i would like to add something....

i feel like your day counting is akin to still being quite a slave to alcohol.... like a prisoner marking days in a cell....

do you think you could ever completely let go, and truly be free from even the temptation? this, would be true freedom....

keep on rockin in the free world.

so.... no possibility, not even a chance of truly recovering?  im not berating you, simply asking. because i think there are other levels of freedom, and growth.

If counting helps, then count, but jonnyjonjon is wise...

i will stop, but i will not shut the fuck up...

recovery alone is tough, and its ok if we talk about it... i mean, you started this thread, right??? so, lets talk about it....

fanny taps and back slaps aside, there is more to your thread starting and day counting.....

Hey if counting the days works for him, then so be it.  As long as he stays off the bottle what does it matter Jon jon?  

Whatever works for you. Congrats

because one can recover from recovering.... its not over. life is a continuation.... not a series of goals....

you get over things, then you get over getting over them... its wonderful......

im not here to enable your recovery.......

congratulations and keep it going.

"just for today"

lol..... ok then.....

have a good one.

Keep up the sobriety from booze. It's a drug that does no good for anybody.

zip, this is what i was saying... your non stop day count, and endless threads are verging on the over analysis...

all i suggested is freedom from yourself.... i think you could try trusting yourself now.... you are not addicted any longer....... give it a try.....

Zippy what were you doing 1201 days ago?

Zippy will probably stop counting days once he figures out how to move beyond surly...

Congrats!

*burp*

How much were you drinking a day Zippy?  

Obviously, enough to be a problem.

How many days since your last Job ?

I am sure it was tough to not simply fall back into the bottle.  Good work.  How did you kick the coke addiction?  Were you smoking it?  You are not 

counting the days since you stopped doing coke.  What was the difference between the two when it came to becoming sober?  

Zippy I truly am interested in how you became the charming new Zippy.  I can't believe you are breaking up with me Christmas week.  Douche move

bro.  

No answer?

That's what I thought.

RRG, learn to mind your own business. The question that you asked has nothing to do with you. Thanks

Zippy is it crazy Christmas sweaters?  Right now I am addicted to them.  J/K  Yes I would guess there are many Zoners who could stand to loose an

addiction or two.  

whatever works man. But as someone once said,  you are better off making the days count than counting the days. you might be far enough along to start doing that  BUT fucking do whatever works and stick to it.    try to be nice with it man.

How long before janicke melts?

Melt? For speaking the truth? This is a positive thread Mike. Let's keep it that way. Thanks

I think asking Zippy when the last time he actually contributed to society is a very valid question.

In fact I think he should try to find a job doing something more constructive than flipping burgers.

Or maybe volunteer in a crisis center, while looking for work.

Helping others does quite a bit towards helping yourself.

Instead of sucking off the system...give back a little.

And if your putting your "stuff" out there......

It is my business.

I don't know Mike, but am looking forward to it.  I like janicke.  Whoever it is.  

Nice try RRG. But it has nothing to do with you. Focus on yourself, rather than others. Thanks

Between TC, Big papa Johnny and ziptard, they can drive this sober mess of a thread to a hundred by 1pm

Keep the streak going Zip....can't knock someone getting healthier 

Nice try joe.  You should follow your own advice. Thanks.

Not sure if the crisis center would be such  a good idea.

Follow my own advice? Zippy was a walking mess for many years and turned his life around. That is awesome. Thanks

Just a thumbs up on 1200 Days....even though I can't spell, write a sentence or punctuate properly

>>>>>In fact I think he should try to find a job doing something more constructive than flipping burgers.

40 million service workers trying to survive and RRG thinks they're worthless. 

Congrats Zip, that's fantastic.

Now that you've been saved,

What are you going to give back?

He is already giving back RRG. Showing people hope. Again mind your own business. Thanks

40 million service workers trying to survive and RRG thinks they're worthless. >>>>

Yep and there will be a whole lot more after Trump is in office for a year.  This is why it is important to raise the minimum wage.  That's not going to

happen with Trump in office.  We are screwed.  Trump would like for the population to be poorly educated, and addicted to alcohol.  Easier to control 

the people when they are ignorant, and fucked up.  

Why would you knock a person for flipping burgers? What is wrong with you? Get off that high horse RRG. Thanks.

I bet you ate a lot of burgers after all those dead shows in the 80's RRG.

Yep, you win again...do not want to bother you about life skills.... but FYI, its all about $

"Me, me, me....look at me!!! It's me! I woke up in a beautiful world of my own today! I love me, don't you? Look at ME!! Behold, I've got nothing but me...as far as I see."

Telling folks to "shut the fuck up" for expressing a harmless opinion? Naughty, naughty. LOL

Ship Of Fools.....

I actually think that Zippy has more to offer than " just flipping burgers"

because of what he has seen and been through.

He should rise up EVEN FURTHER, and continue to challenge himself.

In the meantime,

Volunteering is a great resume (and character) builder.

 oh, and...

I gave up eating meat in 80's

Fast food is disgusting and is fucking up our environment.

You boys have a nice day.

What if you ONLY love yourself, Zippy? Where's that get you?

I am surrounded by love, my man. It's not by accident.

Sweet non-sequitor, baller.

" make good money $5 a day, make anymore I might move away"

Reality=Zippy's troll

Nobody calls me a troll, because they'd be wrong and they know it.

All the rich people I know are highly literate. Not either/or, baller.

Derp.

)))))The Zippy Zone((((

I bet you love it when a 3 year troll plan comes together.

Well thats just simply stupid....and I needed to say that, sure you would rather be when rich is not an option....funny

Tell the truth, Zippy,  was "Fuck you, pay me" inspired by Thoreau?

My quarter ran out.....game over

janicke will probably start going after jambone soon...

Somehow I think your still drinking because a clear brain would not go off on the tangents that you do....but that is just my opinion 

>>>>I actually think that Zippy has more to offer than " just flipping burgers"

making pizza?

selling shaved ice?

hot dogs? 

Brewing Coffee? 

Selling overpriced flat brims and basketball shoes?

gold and diamond thief er dealer

real estate? 

Wall Street? 

Ambulance chaser? 

Unless you just have mental illness 

selling shaved ice?

In Alaska? Coffee mo' betta'

Lots of "joe lurkers" here. 

This thread is starting to grow legs.

That's just the body lice.

Like you don't have lice...

And, baller, you're going to need to invent a new nickname b/c Dogfood is another Zoner. Maybe you saw him posting cum rag pics?

>>Back on ignore you go.

12 more back-and-forths...

>>Contradicting yourself in the same thread. Way to be, [Zippy].

Great to have you back, lil' buddy.

Gravy I guess you missed it.  Zippy went six months without a shower because of a coke addiction.  This caused him to have body lice.  Well he was probably fornicating with hairy legged women at the same time.  I don't care if Zippy flips burgers, or joins Trump's cabinet.  I can tell from his posting he is doing better than a couple years ago.  Why must Zoners troll.  Give him some props for the improvement.  

Don't call me a dickhead Zippy.  I am in your corner, and would like for you to be in mine as well.  

Oh God.... you guys have to be kidding, not

lol zippy

Captain I am not kidding.  Zippy was piled on last Friday I believe.  People are real bad asses when posting on a message board.  You would not

think they would need the gang mentality, but they do, and they use it.  Why can't people just chill the fuck out?  When a man is down I don't come

in from behind, and kick him while he is down.  

As brought up before by Zip, why waste bandwidth.... you know that I know that you know

Never thought you were kidding

Fine Zippy put my furniture on the porch.  I am coming to get it, and don't even try to come outside.  There will be no parting hugs.  Yes some tears

will be shed, but this isn't working out.  :(

As an FYI, one may not refer to eating dicks without posting the accompanying ASCII art.

Zip, I'm not sure it's in good form to accuse every asshole of being a lush. Some people are just assholes.

BK I resemble that remark.  

Ignore feature?

*toke*

I thought it was installed in your frontal lobe?

Hoover I am going to keep count of how many people you troll today.  I love you bro, but Viva is no place for all this trolling.  :(  Yes you just scored another troll point with your comment to Zippy.  I will also count how many posts you make in good taste.  A fun experiment.  The results will not

be shocking to anyone.  

Zippy, besides myself, Hoover, Gravy, BrianK, Judit, RRG, Mikee, Turtle, Troubador, Trumpcuntry, Nedb, Fish, Markd, StMark, Coyotte, Racket, Captain and Tulsa, who else do plan to you use the ignore feature for?

WTF is that supposed to be in the glass? Spiders?

admin: I'd like to see an "embolden" feature.

Maybe get alerts on the old iTouch when my favs post?

That was low Zippy.  You will not be getting the ring back.  I have already pawned it, for 20 bucks.  A real diamond my ass.  

We're here to bump for you, baller...

"Eat a bag of dicks" is a vulgar sexual comment and is a blatant disregard for the rules here. Right?

McDoobie from what I have learned it all depends on who post said comment.  

I thought you weren't going after people on the new PZ, Zip?

Zippy even though you have broken my heart today.  I am going to tell you to chill out right now, or a banning could be eminent.  

Imminent...

Nope. It's a reference to a song by the Specials.

>>> you aren't even on the list.

I guess I have misinterpreted what being done with someone means. lol

415-692-1053Zippy on Thursday, December 15, 2016 – 07:24 pm

Pot meet kettle. I'm done with you. .

This thread isn't fostering a kind sense of community. It should be pulled for the good of all.

Zippy just ignore it.  

Zippy I haven't posted anything to you that was meant to be hurtful.  I haven't posted anything that breaks the rules either.  I simply want to have Viva be a fun place, that takes

your mind off of stress in the real world, and have some laughs with other Zoners.  I am not posting to hurt anyones feelings.  I love all Zoners.  That is what makes this place 

interesting.  The variety of personas here.  

Zippy pushing a 4.1 here today.

Beats looking for work, I guess. 

You posted that story yourownself a few days ago, Zippy. It was a different "Look at Me!" thread of yours. Remember, when you give protips on how to camp in GG Park?

I don't think Zippy's skin has grown thick enough for the zone yet...

Self-Congratulatory Thread By Polarizing Poster Goes Poorly, Just As Expected: NEWS AT ELEVEN 

>>Now chock on a dick.

Chock full o' cocks?

I'm just sayin, this site hasn't been open three weeks and this isn't your first "sobriety" thread. Now maybe you need all that attention, but I'd point you back to what Jonnyjonjon had to say early on here for words of wisdom

i feel like your day counting is akin to still being quite a slave to alcohol.... like a prisoner marking days in a cell....

 

do you think you could ever completely let go, and truly be free from even the temptation? this, would be true freedom....

Ahh, the old figure 8 troll.

Well done, Zip

Got it

carry on

Cumdumpster peice of shit. Yikes!

Tell us again about the rules and how well you are following them. LOL

I got flamed for using bandwidth by Zip, in hindsight, that was funny.....such a long time ago

Still a victim.

Still obnoxious.

Seems like getting sober never helps those with those issues, for some folks.

BrianD I see you, and you are not being helpfull.  Does it make you feel better about yourself to give Zippy shit?  If so that is BS.  What has Zippy done to you?  I am asking you this

because I don't understand why you are trolling him.  

Harassing you? You're high. Maybe skip the cocksucker insults if you can't take a little ball busting.

Eat sh*t, Tulsuck.  

I wasn't addressing you.  Do the same.  Thanks.

Zip, you came back in full attention whore/obnoxious mode.

You can look it up.

Off to the job.  You remember jobs, right?

Really feeling the "Spirit of the Season" in this thread!

If only someone pretending to be a wild rabbit would cite Bible verses....

Zip, you know as well as anyone that you can't control what anyone posts on any thread. 

That said, congrats. And yeah, if you really want, over time your sobriety will be less and less of a daily thought.

It' s all about the bandwidth being used....very disrespectful as per Zip....remember Zippy, or was that just my imagination 

The DERP IS STRONG IN THIS BITCH!

Way to go Ziptard.

last time i had a Drink and a Beer

2 minutes ago

Wait One minute i am Progress = WooHoo !

happy holidays

By the strong zoning job you've done today,

i can see the job search is over.

What local fast food joint won the competition of your services?

Window or counter?

Back to the Toke?

*stroke!

You've threatened me with physical violence before Zippy. Yawn.

But please let me know when you're back in Cali so I can give you a shot at taking that shit to me in 3D.

So now that Zippy has committed a crime how long before he gets the boot?

I think its funny some people call this bullying and stalking.

Grandpa.....? Oh boy..... so I'm older with life skills....my mistake

People are being dicks to you on your thread. It's not really bullying or stalking.

Trust me, I know what this Innerwebz stalking thing is, and you ain't being stalked.

It's not totally cool, but it's Viva.

Zero years stalking you baller. You flatter yourself.

And I'm not the one posting ridiculous threats either. That's all you genius. I'm sure someone will let me know if/when I do something ban worthy. Until then I hope you continue to enjoy my Zone stylings as much as I do.

looks like this thread is going to set some sort of new bar for viva

Zoner please. We aren't going to meet, you aren't going to hit me, and I'll post when and where I want.

Apparently you have a huge problem with that. Try to get over it, you'll sleep better. 

...

If you post in a public forum, people can and will respond. There's nothing you can do about that. If it bothers you feel free to kick rocks.

Good stuff, Doobie. Somebody should quote you more often. 

I'll sleep soundly knowing a Zippy beatdown has about a .00000001% chance of happening.

I commend you!!!

My brother was likely days or weeks from death by alcoholism earlier this year. Yes, thank the universe for cannabis.

For clueless people, alcoholism is a disease...just like cancer. Would you say harassing and mean spirited things to someone who is battling cancer?

I'll take the time to read through and see who the real assholes are and I too will make note to never acknowledge your presence in this lifetime. Perhaps you will learn in other lifetimes.

Keep counting Zippy!

If you type:

\ignore{name} 

with the user who you want to ignore where "name" is between the {}, then that person will be ignored 

pretty sure

Well Zippy you kept some of my undies, but I have every thing else loaded up.  Sorry to see you threatening violence.  Stop it or you will get the boot.  

I feel my work here is done, so I leave the thread with a smile. Have a great evening folks.

im having special k flashbacks

honest question zippy.

why do you feed these guys?

There are two kinds of people in this world. Those who have been humbled and those who are waiting to be humbled. Seems there are a few here who fall in the latter category. Judgment is a terrible thing. Positivity is a good thing.

So perhaps I shouldn't judge the ignorant comments. 

Love to all.

P.S. It is well documented fact that alcohols are always recovering when sober. The Alcoholics Anonymous Big Book is chalk full of information.

https://www.amazon.com/Alcoholics-Big-Book/dp/1893007170

Zippy anyone who doesn't think addictions are a disease are simply fucking idiots.  

Zippy we were thinking about each other at the same time.  That is a sign.  You want to get back together.  J/K

Zippy I know a couple of Zoners that spent some time with you, and they both said the same thing.  Not word for word, but close to this:  Zippy was great to hang out with, until I 

wanted to kill him.  

Chris

Yo, chris

Chris, hey

Hey, chris

Chris

Congratulations.

Keep up the good work, Zip.

Congratulations on the sober time. That's nothing to shake a leg at. I bet there is quite a few zoners that could never stay off booze that long 

great work. 

Slacker I am here.  Do you need a life jacket?  Okay I get it, and will never post to you again with the three introductions.  I simply was adding to my name dropping.  

WTF did you want Slacker?  

Chris

Yo, chris

Chris, I don't think I can write as much as Chris. 

That Chris guy averages about 20,000 characters per hour. 

this thread is a mess.

Tulsa Chris writes more than PJ. 

Well I like that better than Ulsa, or piss chris.  

I think Tulsa Chris could write War and Piss in one afternoon.

Piece not piss, chris

Whoa! What going on here. That should say peace not piece piss chris

dude i totally haz canned.

Alcoholism is indeed a disease and a mental illness<< stop blaming alcohol. Blame your parents for having a half ass kid who can't control himself.

Of the 200 some odd posts how many are yours zip?

Can you drink one beer a day, OG? 

Alcohol is not a disease. Alcoholism is a disease. It only takes about 10-15 minutes to research and learn this simple fact.
