Good morning everyone. Getting ready to head back to the half way house and if I’m being honest I’m kind of looking forward to it, coming home was nice but besides my girls, I don’t miss it and full of anxiety. I like my fresh start in Plattsburgh. But it was a nice visit and cooking dinner yesterday was awesome, everyone loved the meatloaf and I was thoroughly impressed myself too. So yeah just saying good morning and much love, take care and have awesome sober days

Day 253
Life has been kicking my ass recently.
Things have happened that I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy.
My deepest darkest thoughts returned, I was not equipped to cope with them and be supportive to the community so I took myself away, spent some time reflecting on myself, my life and the choices I made to get me to where I used to be, wondering if it was really such a bad place because I was oblivious to everything, that way I wouldn’t have to live with the reality of what was happening in my life or cope with the circumstances.
What I did find in my solitude of recovery was that the steps I had taken to come away from my poor decisions in life, the strength I had found within to be there for my family and myself was better, bigger and stronger than anything life could throw my way.
Yes I’m broken, but I am not defeated. Life has tried to knock me down, I will not let it keep me down.
Nothing hits harder than life, but nothing bounces back from a knock like the will to succeed!
I have taken steps to advocate mental health struggles in my workplace, start peer support groups and reach out to those in darker places than I was.
Much love to you all! I’m here for you if you need me.

Good afternoon all. Checking in day 352. Had my first visit with my mother since I’ve been sober, so the first time in a decade since she’s been able to see my clear headed. Very emotional despite having a difficult upbringing she was very happy to see my eyes she kept saying. How clear they were and my ma always loved my eyes as a kid so it was very very nice to hear she could see a difference. Even in the way I carried myself she said. Much more pride and confidence than I had. So overall I have no complaints. Just a physically and mentally exhausting day but glad I got to experience it. Back to work tonight and got no sleep so going to need an extra Red Bull today. Hope everyone stays safe and takes care.

Day 19
Good afternoon hall todays day 19 ! Hit the gym and going o a wedding party ! Had a weird dream that I got drunk and took me a minute to realize it was a dream when I woke up was kinda scary! … weird shit happened the ex did a complete 180 and is now trying to be like nothing ever happened and even apologized … I think she realized she can’t find the type of attention. I give her from anyone else … but anyways it dosent take away the pain she caused so o guess we’ll take it one day at a time… anyways here’s to 19 days sober and maby more stay strong mates and stay sober!

Day 422. Not gonna lie, got hit by the struggle bus this morning out of nowhere. I had this weird dream about people from my past that seems to have awoken some dark feelings from long ago.
It’s amazing how primed and ready that “fuck it, let’s get a drink” circuit in my brain is primed and ready to go even after 422 days. I guess I need to process these feelings as they come.
Looking at HALT and I am everything but angry, so I had better take care of that.
