Congrats and glad you’re here. I love this place. It has really helped me
Her parents gave up on her and that’s sad. When i made the decision to have a child, I also made a lifetime commitment to care for her in my home. Believe me, there’s plenty of days where I lose my patience and have to step away. But I can’t imagine life without her either.

Yes sir. Like I said earlier my 5 to 6 months we’re very hard, and that’s when I decided to hit up a.a meetings bc I was angry, really angry. Yes paws has alot to do with,we can experience paws up to a year and even after a year. I never believed ppl when they told me youre right where youre supposed to be. But it’s something I realize is very true lately. This is definitely all part of the process, and will get better. Just stay being easy on yourself and trust the process, listen to your body if it wants to call it a early night, try to keep routine, and eat some sweets if you need to. It will pass. I remember being a miserable fuck for like 3 weeks in the same days as you.

422 Days. I just noticed I posted 221 days yesterday. lol.
I passed my 2 exams today. Yay!! What a relief! I’m now a licensed producer for life and health insurance in NJ. I know…insurance is boring but it’s all I know and it pays the bills. I just have to get fingerprinted and pass the background check for felonies which is no big deal. I see the doctor from my detox monthly and she text me asking how I made out. I was so excited to tell her the good news. Our patient/dr relationship has expanded to a friendship and I adore her. If it weren’t for her, I’d probably be dead by now. I’ve had some pretty tough times in sobriety but days like today make it all worth while.

Day 1,106. Just got asked to speak at my old second home group. Because of the family life I haven’t been to this particular meeting more than a handful of times in the last 2 years. Should be a good, socially distant, time. It’s been almost a year since I’ve been asked to speak anywhere so it’s going to be interesting to see how my story has evolved.

“Fear can keep us up all night long, but faith makes one fine pillow”- 63 days sober today and just completed my Turn-Arounds in Step 4. Everyday is not great but I get through them just fine. Remember we are dealing with life on life’s terms…with God’s Help that is.
