Connect your bike trainer to your computer or tablet and off you go.
This is mid-race where we were chasing the lead pack.
I came in 32nd out of 100. I was trying to break 30 out of 100.

I’m the one in the yellow and orange hat. You can see the lead pack in the distance.

Here are my numbers:

Saturday was 3 years. The truth is getting saved and turning to God is what got me to stop drinking. There was something dark in me and getting saved destroyed it. I was lost and without hope and now I have nothing but excitement for the next day I am blessed with. If you believe in God, but find yourself asking “am i going to heaven?” Then I would encourage you to watch this video. If you don’t believe in God I hope you watch it anyways and it shows you the light. God bless and good luck on the rest of your journey.

Hey everyone,

I wanted to thank you all for your amazing responses to me for my 60 days. Wow! Thank you again.

Currently enduring day 62. And I’m craving HARD! It all started when I was at my gig last night during the Super Bowl (Go Chiefs!). Some of the ladies were dressed overly sexy with bikini tops showing and low cut blouses. It’s like they’re competing with the game to get guys attention. Well they got mine. I’ve been struggling to keep custody of my eyes and mind since. Can’t do porn since my phone is blocked. So I’ve been entertaining thoughts of going to a massage parlor. Did some nasty searches on my GPS. And I drove by one. I’m such a mess right now. I want to stay sober. I want to pick up my chip tomorrow. I know that my addiction causes harm. It’s still hard. I don’t know how long this will last. I’ve got to ride this out. I’ve done it before. Maybe tomorrow will be a better day.

Thank you, everyone. you’re all awesome.

@Smken27, nice to see you back. Here’s to another sober day.

Yes, of course.

On January 24th I went into court and basically figured out that the prosecutor’s were not going to offer a better deal and that the existing offer of 3 years was already below the minimum sentence for my offense. So, we asked them to put the matter off until April 9th, so that I can finish my Intensive Outpatient Program. On April 9th, I will go back to court, plead guilty and immediately go into jail to start serving my sentence.

With a little luck and a lot of good behavior, I could be out in 18 months.

I’ve done about all the easing back I can in the other parts of my life. This volunteer thing I’ve started is actually connected to my mental health stuff, it’s an unusual program I’m in, and hard to explain. Except perhaps the time I put into music, but for the most part I find that helps me keep going. I’m not getting many spare days (6 days out of 7 has me attending one thing or another), but I’m learning to appreciate the spare hours in those days I do have stuff going on.

Day 456. First day of volunteer job at the farm, and first group of the week, and I’m doing all right! I’m just not having good quality downtime, still staying kind of “on” and not settling into the activities I want to be doing on my own time. I do that when I’m stressed — stay alert and reactive at the cost of relaxed and focused. But it makes sense that I wouldn’t be fully adjusted to my activity level yet, plus I’ve still got another week or so to wait for side effects of my meds to settle down, since they were changed recently. Be patient, dear self, and persevere. Accept things as they are for the present, it is all tolerable and intended for a stronger future.

Day 505 :coffee:
Official better today and going to work again. Had a great birthday yesterday despite the absent of my husband who’s abroad for work. Had dinner with my besties and it was nice. Drank fresh mint tea and a alcohol free beer, didn’t miss the real thing. It helps me not to think about it much. If it slips my mind I swipe it away: it’s not an option anymore. I do not want it, I do not need it and I definitely can not handle it!
