You’re right, there’s so many more life challenges to come. I’ll do everything in my power to guard my sobriety

No I’ve had it from pull ups before, this is in a different place. I really think it’s a tight tricep, and tight shoulders. But I can’t get them to loosen up no matter how much I roll them or massage them. I will rest a lil more and go from there thanks man.

4 day, this go around seems to be going easier than previous. Got to see my son last night, then took the family to church, group meeting tonight! Girlfriend still has her gaurd up but I understand after so many relapses but I honestly fee this time is different. Groups meetings have definitely helped with that

Another amazing idea. I do like taking pictures, I’m so new to everything that I don’t ever think of things like this. Thank you guys, all awesome ideas. I seriously never paid attention or learned anything growing up, that I just am completely lost. My whole goal in life before, was party party party. I seriously wet brained myself lol

Second check in today. At work yesterday the doctor told me we’d get a new resident. Turned out he was wrong, the new guy will live on another floor. But then I already checked his file. Turns out I know him, we were in elementary school together, I was one class up. Nice guy, We weren’t real friends but I knew him pretty well. Lost sight of him for 40 years. To see him back now is sad. Now he’s bipolar, alcoholic, he’s got serious diabetes, cirrhosis, korsakov. I’m actually glad I don’t have to take direct care of him but I’m sure we’ll meet. Been thinking about him a lot. Here’s a guy that has seen rock bottom but still dug himself a deeper hole it seems. No judgement from me but it does make me sad and also it does make me wonder why. I don’t know. Life isn’t fair I know that. And all we can do is our damned best ourselves. Just wanted to share.

That’s so sad, when I studied behavioral science they said that it doesn’t matter how many chances one get, or how much others wants to help. If you don’t want to help yourself no one can. Maybe he just hasn’t reach the point where he is able to do so yet.
You know where you stand in your journey, you might run into him and even have a talk, just don’t let it affect you in a negative way.
Life isn’t fair for anyone, but at some point at least in addiction we all get the opportunity to turn it around.

Day 359. Rest day, so no lifting or running. They finally added Kingdom to Netflix, so I’ve been smashing through episodes. Stoked to finally get to watch it.
Anniversary flowers from the lady. I think I’m one of the few guys she knows who likes flowers.
Have a strong day!!!
