You’re taking on life as it comes, pretty courageously! One of the cool things about sobriety is that we can admit our motivations to ourselves and others, like joining a gym because it’s 12 minutes closer. Good luck on your Spartan! The folks I know who are into it are really into it. But I also know guys and gals who have done just one, to show themselves they could do a hard thing.
I interviewed a triathlon coach this week. I’ve used a swim coach and a strength trainer and PT and massage and nutrition help in the past 3 seasons, but not an event specific coach. It’s a whole other level of training. I have to ask myself if I am ready to commit. Not if I can envision getting all the way through it, but can I commit to it. Kind of like getting sober - we do the unimaginable mostly on faith.
And thank YOU! They are talking about doing a tougher one after, and I would love to have something that I enjoy and motivates me outside of work. I remember when I was really into working out and it gave me so much joy. What I like about this is that I’m training towards a goal. Just wish I had someone to train with as I feel like I’m going in completely blind. I guess I’ll download my spartan apps again, sigh.
Keep doing the next right thing James. Even if you don’t feel like it. I have a feeling eventually all this hard work will pay off for you & you will achieve all of your goals! Proud of you for how hard you’re working. It’s inspiring really!
Well, technically not until 10pm tonight…but the hell with it, I know I’m not drinking.
600 days ago I woke up with the last hangover I’ll ever experience. It was the exceptionally painful type that can only be brought on by the mixture of alcohol and amphetamine…gah, I shudder just thinking of it.
I’ll keep it short and sweet today –
Things aren’t perfect, but they sure are much better than they used to be…for that, and for all of you, I am grateful.
Life def is not perfect but like you I wouldn’t change it to my drinking nightmare. Whatever there is, you have it in you to get through it, to heal and to find stability. And like Sartre once said “the hell with other people”
