Came back to the hospital to complete the evaluation they started on the 8th. Apparently I’m worse off than I thought. They are going to keep me for a while.
I’m a little concerned at this point.
I’ll write more when I get some food and a nap, and they tell me what is going on.

@CATMANCAM I had a blast with my wife thank you 
I’m so glad I can enjoy music without drinking. Music is such a big thing for me and I was so scared I wouldn’t be able to enjoy myself without being my old self but the music was even better without drinking!

Day 522
Had a pretty decent day today! I ACTUALLY woke up early enough to exercise which im super proud about. Did my morning prayer and then got my son to his eye appt which went really well. He still has underlying eye issues but the general health of his eye is really good (no scratches or dry eye etc). Still no xray results tho. I did call the pediatrician office and the secretary did confirm that they did get the results but that the Dr hasnt viewed them yet. So we are still waiting. Will make a phone call tmrw to reminder the Dr.
Other than that it was a pretty laid back day. Eating wasnt horrendous. Could be abit better for my liking but I did make better choices overall. So ill take it 
Not much else to report today. Hope everyone is doing well

Day 1145 no weed or alcohol. My mom called yesterday to tell me my cousin who is as close to me as a brother had passed away due to heart trouble. So today I went to my garden and worked for hour’s. If there were any toxins left in my body from all my years of abusing weed and alcohol and a few other random thing’s I sweated them out today.I’m feeling like I’ve grown enough in my sober time to realize that no drink or drug will bring back a loved one. I’m thankful to be able to say that I didn’t even think about it until tonight.

@hisharleyquinn Hope your day got better. Sorry the doctor’s appointment is so far away (are you able to ask them to call you in if a cancellation occurs).
@kdog glad you are having a good time on your camping (glamping) trip – lovely meeting and chatting with new friends.
@anon53116147 congrats on getting your classes registered. Glad you were able to get a hold of DSS and hopefully everything works out for yoru move in date.
@sobermedic it is amazing how much time we gain once we leave our DOC – honestly, its baffling how much time we wasted on getting wasted and thinking about it / planning it and recovering from it. So glad that you are enjoying your free sober time
Well done my friend! Super proud of you and grateful that you are seeing some positive results.
@sadmemequeen so sorry Megan- I do know how frustrating it can be to be in pain daily and not have relief – I do hope you are able to get better soon. Did the doctor say why they had to move your appointment?
@dryln785 I am grateful that you did get back to the hospital and are being treated accordingly – I do hope that it is nothing too serious but hopefully you will see this as a sign to work on your sobriety. Sending you healing vibes my friend.
@mylightshinesbright Well done on your 11 days. Do you have anything set up for the weekend to make sure you stay away from temptation and urges? Its always good to have plans in mind to keep yourself busy – especially at the beginning of your journey
@sobervigilant I am so sorry for your loss my friend. Grateful that you were able to find a healthy way to deal with your grief. Giving you strength to get through the night as well.

Day 22. Things are better today. It’s raining here. I love the rain. I just wish I could go out for a walk in the rain, but my ankle doesn’t agree. It’s still hurting.
Today is my wife’s birthday. We don’t have any plans. The kids want the usual - cake, pizza and Netflix. My elder son will go back to his college after a couple of days and I suspect that he wants to spend most of his remaining time with his mom. They are extremely close. His plans sound like he won’t be back home for a few years at least.
I am fixing my old motorcycle. May need to replace a few parts and it will definitely require quite a bit of work. Once my ankle is okay I am planning on riding off to the mountains. My wife is encouraging me to go for a few days. Got some business work there too and the mountains may be exactly what I need right now. The ride will be tough. I haven’t gone on long rides for a long time. I’ve turned fat and lazy. But it will definitely be fun.
