Day 817 clean and sober. I had such a great weekend being out in nature I love it. I was able to purchase a vehicle last night that I can actually drive further then the store and back without it breaking down 
Now I will be able to start going on adventures wherever I want yay!!! Iāve had a crap car since I got sober that wasnāt worth the money to fix so I would just use it sparingly but now that Iāve been at my job for over a year I was able to get a loan 
Itās a 2015 Jeep Cherokee and I LOVE IT! Have an amazing day everyone, love you guys!!!

Hi,

Morning Check In
Day 205
Woke up feeling better than what i did last night. Sleep is a wonderful thing lol Just having my coffee while my son has his feed and then needing to get him on the bus for 810 which is like 20 min earlier than usual. I guess they have another kiddo to pick up after him.
Right after he gets on the bus, im going to workout. My husband got me a piece of rebar from work (which is like a piece of twisted pipe that is used to reinforce concrete). He double wrapped it in black tape. Its my new ābarbellā that Im going to use today with my resistance body bands for my workout. So i can do barbell exercises. Im excited for that! Then going to do some cleaning and maybe have a bath today to relax.
Hope everyone has an addiction free day!!

@SoberWalker you have sucu a kind heart. That mustve been sooo hard to see others suffering and hurting soo badly. You showed compassion and kindness to those in need of support. Im sire they apprecoated that. Hopefully there was time for self care for u last night also, to take care of you after hearing and seeing such pain 
@Twizzlers thank u my friend. I will bring it up at the right time and in the right way. Communication is soo important. I apprecoate ur advice! Hope u have a great day!
@brianp thank u for this reminder!!! Ur absolutely right! Ita important to find that inner happiness from within. I can guarentee my happiness frol within myself. But i cant guarentee that from others. Besides its not really another persons responsibility to make me happy. I need to do that on my own. Thanks for ur wise advice!! Hope u have a great day Brian!! Good luck also with the wedding tmrw! Ull do great! If u need support, we are all here

Checking in at 2 years, 6 months and 16 days
I am always worried. I want to quit worrying. I feel so
mad at the moment and I have using dreams every night. i am done with them. i had a dream about smoking a cigarette and after i took one puff i fell down in the dream and thought i was gonna die. i actually quit that way because i was feeling messed up whenever i used and even when i got
clean smoking cigs just didnt feel right. its been almost 2 years that i quit smoking cigs so im sure thats why this is happening. i hate this disease. i
hate how much it tries to scare me. i wish it would just fuck off. i am mad at the crazy thoughts i get in my mind but i know its not me. i am just going to start writing these thoughts down and say my HPās truth. also, i know this will end. i am gonna keep fighting this asshole (addiction) till the death and it cant have me no matter how bad it wants to. i am gonna stay clean just for today.

Bravo!!
Day 13 and itās gonna be a busy one thankfully with not much in the way of temptation. I really prefer these days with not too much time to think. Weāre moving out at the end of the month and downsizing (which Iām stoked about) so today is packing and listing stuff to sell hopefully!!

You probably forgot the leap year you doofus 
Oh, I totally get that! Butā¦ if I recall correctlyā¦ Mel is Canadianā¦ That aināt Europe.
But fret not Chris, I still believe in you 
I have some big changes coming. I retired early last year at age 40. Since then Iāve been doing some consulting and training on the side. I had someone contact me about some training back in June so I started emailing some technical schools to find some weld samples. One school invited me for a visit and we talked about what I do and it led them to ask if I could get them an inspection program started and also teach for them. After a few months of talking I decided to move forward with it. I will teach about 3 hours a day and have summers off, so Iāll be home when my kids are home. I was able to get companies in the industry to donate everything we will need (almost 200k worth), and a charity I work with has volunteered to pay some of the tuition for any veterans that sign up.
The biggest issue was we live in the country so with me working it was going to be difficult with bus schedules. I put an ad on a babysitting website for someone for 2 hours a day in the afternoon to get one son off the bus while my wife picks up another one. Problem is heās the boy with behavior issues but is doing better since his residential treatment stay, but we still have to disclose his past just in case. At that point people run. Plan B, sell our property and move back to town. Looks like we just missed the buying frenzy. We are priced right and priced to sell but 2 weeks and only 1 showing. So hereās to hoping we either find a sitter that wonāt be scared off or we get an offer on the house. The plan is for me to start the first class in October.
