Great news!!! That is very encouraging!!! Thanks gang. Day 4 and counting.
Today is day 4 no?
I hope it is day 4 for you and you continue to do this hard thing one day at a time.
Remember, if you slip, there is always tomorrow and we will count again from day 1.
It doesn't mean you are a failure, and don't think of yourself in that manner.
With each sunrise brings a new day, a new day to start something new or perhaps finish something old, whichever it is--it's a new day and we are all still here in our own battles too...

“I’ve known about having the disease for a long time, but was never a candidate for treatment until last year,” continues ALLMAN.
?
I saw something when I was channel surfing but I thought it Obama and Boy George passing gas to the tune of "Did You Really Want to Hurt Me".
ROFLOL!!!! that was a good one!!!
Britney did pass gas - didn't you see the McCain ad? Mike
This would be a great story for the News Media.
I guess Shia Labeouf getting a DUI, Cindy Luaper’s new album, and Amy Whitehouse admitted to the hospital, was more News Worthy. It is a good thing Brittany Spears didn’t pass gas because nothing would have been covered.
Never the less, it is great to hear doing well, getting his life back together, and getting back on the road.

Here's another link. Looks like the heppers are banding together. Wouldn't mind hearing one of those Allman Brothers - Phil Lesh concerts in October!
“I’ve known about having the disease for a long time, but was never a candidate for treatment until last year,” continues ALLMAN. “When my doctor told me to go for the Interferon, I knew it would be a battle, but I’m great now.” Side effects from Interferon treatment include flu-like symptoms and chronic fatigue. “I just didn’t have the energy to play,” says the keyboardist/singer. “And we’re a band that puts on 2-hour shows that change every single night. You gotta be at full capacity to do that. And now I am.”

After undergoing the grueling treatment for Hepatitis C, Allman Brothers Band leader Gregg Allman is back on his feet and ready to hit the road.
"I feel great, man," the singer/keyboardist said in a statement. "The treatment really kicks you in the *** but I came out stronger. I'm ready to play."
The Allman Brothers Band [ tickets ] is set to return to the road Aug. 12 for two dozen dates primarily around the eastern half of the US. The first leg of the tour will include Bob Weir & RatDog, and Phil Lesh and Friends will hop on board for several gigs on the second leg. Confirmed shows are listed below.
The kickoff concert in Bethel, NY, will mark the Allman Brothers' first performance since last September. The group was forced to postpone a number of shows, including its annual Beacon Theatre residency in New York City, while Gregg Allman recovered from debilitating Interferon treatments. The musician said he was never a candidate for treatment until last year, and he knew it was going to be a battle.
"I just didn't have the energy to play," Allman said. "And we're a band that puts on two-hour shows that change every single night. You gotta be at full capacity to do that. And now I am."
During the group's downtime, the other members stayed busy with a variety of projects. Drummer Jaimoe went out with his Jasssz Band, guitarist/vocalist Warren Haynes toured with Gov't Mule, guitarist Derek Trucks joined Eric Clapton on an extensive world tour and performed with wife Susan Tedeschi's Soul Stew Revival, and bassist Oteil Burbridge toured with former Grateful Dead percussionist Bill Kreutzman.
The Allman Brothers Band, which is rounded out by percussionists Butch Trucks and Marc Quinones, is also looking ahead to next year, when the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers will play some special gigs to commemorate their 40th anniversary.
