I understand overly worrying about finances. I went through my second divorce a couple of years ago (thanks to my alcoholism) and it destroyed me financially. I’ve been sober for a little over 8 months now and I’m doing so much better financially, but it’s still a very slow recovery process. It’s frustrating and depressing to me that I let things get so bad. I used to catch myself saying, " Is this what I got sober for!? To be stressed about money and angry at myself all day!?" I’m trying to be patient and thankful for every little bit of progress that I make & I definitely don’t want to feel like I did on January 3rd of this year ever ever again! Stay strong, and trust that financial insecurity will leave you “one of the AA promises”

Yes absolutely. Finally getting insurance, and getting some things looked at and taken care off will be amazing for progress in my recovery when I walk out of here. I appreciate the well wishes and thoughts man. I’ve been through worse, I’ll make the most out of this right now and keep on fighting.

Day 159. Checking in. It’s Friday the 13th, and it will nearly be a full moon tonight. I have been laughing hysterically by myself in my room, and hopefully doing my part to terrify my quiet, kindly neighbors. So far it’s a good morning. I quit my job last week because my hands just couldn’t take it. My wife has been patient, but I can tell she is nervous. I think I will go back to my previous job next week.

Day 46.
I met a guy from the SAA program for coffee yesterday morning. He’s a pastor and such a calm and caring person. An incredible amount of sobriety and a blessing to speak with. For someone I just met, I felt so comfortable talking with him. He’s got a multi-cultural family as well and it was therapeutic to talk about family dynamics with him.
Just finished up my beginning silversmithing course this evening and it was so nice to be creative for a couple of days.
My first go at playing with a bunch of techniques we learned.
Now I just need to build myself a studio…

I’m checking in at day 178.
My wife and I saw our pastor again today.
we’re at a much better place now.
Amazing how much can change in such a short time.
Really glad to be sober now. All of this would have been 20 times more difficult if I had acted out recently.
Thank you everyone.
