Thank u! This is truly long overdue. Itās so funny how things sort of work out in a weird way when our focus is not on drugs and getting our next fix. Ya know? Now that drugs are out of the picture, our focus and time has been literally on taking care of everything we didnāt do when we shouldāve done it. Thankfully he is getting the help he needs before that infection spread into his blood ans then to his heart.

Thanks Jenny. I appreciate the response. I was able to take a little mental vacation and got myself in a good mood. Feel better tonight. Stayed away from the liquor store. Thanks for the response. One day at a time!

Iām going to start counting again. Once numbers get big they scare me, but I think itās important to see the numbers grow whole I learn to forgive myself for this relapse.
Day 2
Iām just doing what I can to remind myself that my reloade is not the end of all progress. I want to give up and just let myself go. But I canāt do that. Iāve already fallen so far and I canāt let mysekf fall farther. Iām ok other than the regret Iām feeling. Iāve already decided that I will stay home Saturday as my family is the last thing I need to be around right now.

Congratulations on your 1000 days menno. Thank you for your beautiful share and being here and always giving awesome support. I loved the way you described how life is now, it is beautiful. The way you described it reminded me off the movie the giver in a way. Everyone doesnāt feel or have memory and they are assigned certain jobs to keep things smooth but there is one boy who feels and sees everything for what it truly is. I related this movie to alot like addiction because all the others who are still stuck in active addiction life donāt see or feel life for the way it is. And when we get sober we are much like that boy and we feel and see everything and sometimes it can feel so painful and so beautiful at the same time, but at the end of the movie the boy slides down this hill and breaks the chain so everyone can see what itās like to feel and see again and thatās what we do for each other when weāre sober we help each other see how beautiful it really is. Much love

Day ā¦ā¦.
@SadMemeQueen I donāt count cause I get too obsessed with it, I want to live my life and enjoy it, and have no thoughts about drinking and drugging or the last time I did. Iām here for the now, tomorrow may not come.
So Itās been a mixed few days cause we all know Iām real shitty at checking in, but Things have been good I moved shifts so I donāt have to get up so early which is nice, and on my work laptop I have a MXR sticker, (guitar pedal brand) and it was almost like a flag, one of the other TLs apparently is trying to form a music project to write original material and such, another dude is a drummer and wants to link me up with some local guys for work. Plus three hits on my musician services profile to explore.
Made some new friends as of late so thatās cool,
The bad, my kids mom was diagnosed with Lupus, most of you know I have a pretty tumultuous relationship with her but it has gotten better over the last few months, whatās fucking with me tho is Im pretty apathetic towards her diagnosis, and I donāt know how to feel about that, like I get itās beyond my control an autoimmune disorder, but itās like I donāt feel bad or anything Iām just accepting it and hoping that her doctors figure it out for her, I know sheās struggling to accept the diagnosis, and the physical traits that come with it, but Itās out of my hands I guess.
My importance right now is where my journey is gonna take me, I made a promise to my kids before any more road trips itās a few days ti spend with them first. So Iām paying off bills and getting a weekend off to see them, then all my fun road trips can begin

I got very obsessed once the numbers started growing. I felt so much pressure to stay clean that the anxiety the number was causing just left me wanting to break it so I didnāt feel the pressure. I went from 314 days to nothing, so Iām judt counting for now to remind myself that I can get back up there. Once I start feeling they pressure again, definitely not going to be counting

Everyone is so different. Itās good to find out what works best for us individually. At the moment Iām in the early stages, and the only thing helping is looking at my sober time knowing I can make it to day five and not having to have to reset and start all over trying to get to day one.
