  1. Tonight, I was asked to chair my home group meeting. There were only 4 of us but it was a powerful meeting. I left with my heart full and some relief. Iā€™ve had some issues that Iā€™ve been battling and this meeting gave me clarity and what Iā€™ve been needing to hear that Iā€™m not alone or the only one that has the craziest shit happen to them. Having 3 1/2 years of sobriety I still am working on my character defects. Today I am grateful for my friends that ride this road of recovery with me and help keep me grounded and help validate my feelings. I hope you all have a nice evening.

Day 47 checking in here. Very tired and feeling a bit frustrated and annoyed today. Probably time to go to bed early. Stay sober, friends.

I agree. The downhill is painful in a different way and is a bit less satisfying.

I absolutely love seeing how much you love your new job, Rob. When I think about you going out and doing those heavy lifting jobs and hurting yourself, and then think about where you are now, it makes me happy.
Long may it continue.

Day 364

This week just keeps throwing more challenges at me.

Called today to confirm my mri appointment for Friday and found out that the doctor that referred me isnā€™t sufficient for referral to this specialist, they require a primary care physicianā€™s referral. Very frustrating that the girl who made my appointment didnā€™t relay this. Instead she just set me up for a consultation, starting all over from square one even though I have had a consultation/assessment elsewhere, and my treatment is being further delayed. Iā€™m just eager to get things taken care of. Having to jump through all of the healthcare hoops is draining.

Thank you very much Tony, itā€™s so surreal having this new job and career path. I remember really getting down on myself because I could physically only work a couple days at a time. My head would tell me that Iā€™m not that hurt Iā€™m just lazy and that thereā€™s something wrong with me. Turns out Iā€™m not lazy at all itā€™s just something I canā€™t do anymore. Every day has been a blessing and a privilege and I can work all day and feel 100% when I get home. Thank you again Tony, have a wonderful evening! :sunglasses::metal:t2:

Wow Iā€™m honestly at a loss right now. The kid who I use to ride to a.a with and was my sponsor for a little bit passed away today from his addiction. He messaged me a couple weeks ago asking how I was doing. I said good just taking it a day a time. But I didnā€™t ask how he was doing, I was selfish, part of me didnā€™t like him so I didnā€™t care how he was doing. Now I realize what if he was hurting, If I would said more or reached out maybe we could of talked and started hitting meetings together. I donā€™t feel like this is my fault, but man he has three kids, he was going through so much and I really feel like wtf atm. Stay sober everyone for real

That is so awful. I hate addiction and what it does. So much pain. Hang in there. Itā€™s good to be sober.

That is so sad. We have to remember addiction can be life and death. Sending strength to you, and of course his family.

Morning everyone day 170 for me. Has a mad busy week at work and home with some added stress between me end my partner which hasnā€™t been good . Anyway Iā€™m still here , still sober , still going to the gym most days although Iā€™ve had to have physio on my hip this week and need an x Ray on it plus she has told me to calm down with the exercise before I do more damage so need to replan my routines . Hope everyone is ok and having a strong week :blush:

This is heartbreaking. I am so sorry for all. ā€œFor realā€ is right. Addictions do really kill. Hugs for you, I am sorry.
