I’m the exact same way Charlie. I can procrastinate with the best of them, and then get overwhelmed and then the pile grows and grows. But it’s amazing, 12 days sober and all my piles have been tackled!!! Even before they become late or real issues.
Glad you’re feeling better!!

So I just hugged my mom for the first time in idk how many years. My uncle Corey called to talk about some more stuff with the tattoo, I was upstairs and I could kind of hear and heard my mom start crying… I came down and we finished talking with him, and it’s set were going down on the 1,2, and 3rd to do my tattoo with him… After we got off the phone I asked my mom if she was crying, she said can you blame me…I have my son back, my son is back in this house and started crying again. She said this time last year I had given up, I didn’t know what to do…I had just tried hanging myself about this time last year, she said if you were going to go I just wanted you to do it and now I have you back. The person you have become is so amazing and she was just balling and I realized all the shit I put her through man, it took me a minute to hug her because I just didn’t really know what to do. I love my mom man. I love you all, sober life is the best life. Stick with it.

Being sober I never realized how much my wife does for me. Serves my plate, makes me dinner, gives me my medicine, always clean clothes, clean house, rubs my back, manicures, pedicures and is even taking soup over to my ex wife since my ex has the covid. And she also works a 9 to 5. (She did all this even when I was a drunk and druggy)

52 days. Enjoying seeing my number growing each day. Feeling somewhat drained and depressed today. My boss even called it out, which is VERY strange. I’m usually great at hiding it when I feel this way. Perhaps I’m just becoming more comfortable with showing my true self since I don’t have to hide alcoholism anymore. Headed to bed.
It’s Tuesday night in America and alcohol still sucks.

Day 0.
I’ve been off of weed for about 10 days. Had a handful of drinks since I last checked in back in June maybe.
I’ve been really battling with whether or not I’m a sex addict. In the end it doesn’t matter because I’m better if I’m working a program. I should be finding joy in helping others instead of the misery that selfishness has brought me.
I told my spouse that I wanted a divorce last night. It wasn’t out of anger. I felt calm speaking to her. I am not sure how I feel about it. 10 years?! Thinking about another 10 years made me feel sick. There’s so much pain and lack of trust that there feels like there’s no foundation to build upon. I had been telling myself that I should strive for six months of real clean sobriety before I made a decision but I suppose my restless, irritable, and discontented ass couldn’t wait.
I’m sad. There’s a lot of hopes and dreams that won’t ever be realized. I’m not sure how to talk to anyone about this. Talking to my 5 yr old boy is going to suck. I don’t want to uproot him. I’m dreading all the work that will be necessary to split. I’m doubting my choice. I’m scared that the wrong side of me brought me here. I’m curious if I was coping with the unhealthy relationship by self medicating. Saying “I love you” left a bad taste in my mouth.

I’m sorry for what you’re through :-/ I know exactly how you feel- I’ve been in your shoes before- one of the worst feelings in the world, esp with a kid involved. My youngest was five at the time and it didn’t affect him as much as my oldest- who was 7 1/2 years old. Kids are resilient and he will always have his loving parents looking out for him. You will be ok Everyone will be ok
