Day 103 here. I’m not using dope and I’m alive. I start working tomorrow. That’ll help my depression and anxiety. But I have no motivation or will to do anything right now. Honestly just happy i am clean.

Checking In. Going to stop counting days during my check-ins because it is too closely tied to my ego. I’ll just say I’m feeling serene. Like more than I can ever remember experiencing.
Had some selfish thoughts this morning. Asked for some help letting them go. Got a call from a fellow in program within minutes and had a great chat. Small miracles make it all worth it. It feels like the universe is sensing that I’m genuine about it this time. My spouse seems smitten. The troubles between my son and I seem to be far less frequent. There’s still a lot of work to do but the positives make me eager to continue and to reinforce my daily maintenance.
Had a wonderful day yesterday running chainsaw and then XC skiing with the whole family. Dinner was great, then shared an evening with my spouse feeling truly sappy and connected.
Love ya!

Day 253,
Brace yourselves, I attended church today,
A lot of you if not all you know I’m not a religious or spiritual person, and I kept saying I needed some sort of miracle, to believe. Well a few of my close friends been telling me all about it, then. The last weeks or so has been a bit life changing,
And then this happens
Last Sunday I’m heading home via the Metro, 99 percent of the time I’m on the phone or listening to music, this time I wasn’t, a younger couple boarded sat across from me with a guitar case, I had to ask. It was the young ladies and we started talking guitars, and she asked about how I landed in the area, so I’m like whatever I told her rehab, while I was there I lost everything back home. And started over here… she asked about my recovery time and her fiancé was also in recovery. But then she mentioned they were attending a church gave me the name of it and invited me. Reminded me of my talent and not to let them go to waste, they got off and said hope to see you there.
So today I got a nap, and went. The people phenomenal, they welcomed me open arms, one overheard me saying I grew up in the poconos, which led to the discussion of my racing career.
The sermon if you will, I swear was tailored to me. The Pastor was an out of state visitor and it was Like they knew me, and knew I was coming my desires strengths and weaknesses were all laid out in his speech I’m still kinda floored. But I enjoyed it

Well done on 36 hours!! Keep it up!
I’ve also been diagnosed with schizophrenia, 13 years ago. Today the doctor says it’s more like a schizo-type disorder, some symptoms are milder these days
I’m glad you’re being open about it. There’s such a stigma attached to it.

Wow I’m so happy you reached out
I was diagnosed when I was 16 and now I’m 30
The toughest time for me was age 16 to 21. I was running away from home out of false beliefs. I’m so fortunate I never got hurt.
It’s also kinda a sad illness
People can get hurt because of a thought they have that isn’t reality.

Sure! I don’t know too many people who have this diagnosis, so it’s great to get to know “a fellow schizophrenic”.
It definitely is a sad disease. Mine started due to cannabis and ecstasy abuse. Had a psychosis that went untreated for 3 years. I was 24 when I had the psychosis in 2005 and got the diagnosis in 2008. So for 3 years I was so afraid to talk about my symptoms.
All the best for you in your recovery!
