Good morning! Day 16, this time! The number has been changed and numerated throughout the years. The answer to my history is quite interesting. I have a ton of alone time, processing “whys” over close to three decades.
Three-ish decades are intersecting. The knowledge of how difficult quitting is is 100% trying and actually fascinating. Knowing how hard it is to be REAL with myself is hard. Knowing that my parents fully smacked that around, since I was a little person, well…it’s tough.
This time, smacking around my brain and body on the stairs, has given me a true reason to now be better, both to me AND to my teens. The inability to remember the accident and my hospital and post-hospital time are mind-threading.
Needing to be broken and wrapped in bubble wrap is well beyond a need. I work to move on.
I turn 55 next month. My plan to to be a real person, with real sources of protection is important.
It’s possible that there won’t be work, that my loss is huge, that I can’t pay rents, etc. I am the only person to make that better. Injury solution makes it hard, but not impossible. A best day to all of you.

Day 61. Good morning fam, after work yesterday I went to Walmart and got a couple snacks. Of course got my creme horns lol. Got home, ate and relaxed. Took my bike apart kinda and cleaned everything so that the salt doesn’t rust everything, oiled my chain and shocks and was ready for work this morning. Got to work on time and it was a beautiful ride. Just do grateful for everything and it was so serene outside. I’m so grateful for my mom and her helping with my girls and giving them the best life, they had a sleep over last night and it was so beautiful to see the pictures and how much fun they were having. When I lived in the half way house, honestly I talked to my girl maybe once a week, now I make sure I call them every day after work and then also before bed. I wish I was with them and soon enough we will all be together. Last night I was thinking about my past a little bit, just crazy to see how my life has changed. It’s crazy to think when I was 22 or so I feel like I almost had my life together more then now. I mean I didn’t but I didn’t, I had a good paying job, I had a beautiful truck and great credit. But I was right in the middle of my addiction, and got back into cocaine and was spending my whole check on cocaine and then letting people use my truck for cocaine so they could do drug runs and then I started taking the people on drug runs for cocaine and leaving my girlfriend home pregnant and I just had no care in the world. Eventually I lost it all, had to plead guilty to my third dwi and let my truck get repoed bc I wanted to keep buying drugs instead. I’m grateful that is all behind me and I’m able to work on getting it back. Yeah much love everyone have a wonderful Sunday.

Checking in with 8 days sober. My partner took me out for dinner last night bc he’s so proud of my progress which was nice - unlimited diet coke refills for us both!
Just weighed myself too and I’ve lost 4kg since the 4th Jan which is mad! It’s crazy how much weight alcohol makes you put on. Just empty calories that I don’t need in my life anymore.
Off to the shops now for a few bits - might treat myself to a Dr. Pepper. Have a good day everyone😊

Good morning, checking in at the start of day 7!
Yesterday at the end of my work day, I had a small battle with myself over whether or not I was going to go Purchase a bottle of non-alcoholic wine to enjoy while I watched a movie at home. I had made plans to watch something on Netflix and frankly, I’ve never watched a movie at home without drinking and smoking before. Probably since I was 16 years old (I had my own apartment at 16, had graduated high school and moved out of my abusive childhood home). So maybe I was feeling anxious about watching a movie by myself and what I was gonna do with my hands. I don’t know… but I talked myself out of going to the liquor store because there’s no reason for me to go there. And there’s no reason for me to drink something that tastes like wine. So instead I went home and read through a bunch of these notes from all of you, (thank you for that), made myself a yummy dinner and never watched Netflix. May seem like a weird thing to be afraid to do. But I’m gonna work my way up to it LOL.
No cigarettes, no alcohol on my 7th day and headed to work at 10 AM. I know it will be a very productive day and then tonight I’ll be home around 6:30 PM and we’ll see if I’m Strong Enough to watch Netflix with just a glass of club soda or cup of tea. I’m so glad I didn’t go to the liquor store! Nothing good could come of that.
Thanks for listening, stay strong everyone! Thank you for being there for me! You have no idea what your support means to me.

We’re below zero here for a few days with two feet of snow on the ground. The sky is a brilliant blue and the brightness of the snow shining in the sun is beautiful.

Anything material you can build right back to where it was in time. Bank account, credit, vehicles no big deal. But keep talking to your kids every day, even if it’s just phone calls right now. Kids always remember the time you spend talking to them, giving them advice, communicating. And knowing that when they need someone you’ll be one of the first people to pop in their heads to call. My kids would never be able to recall all the shit I bought for them. But they’ll always remember who to call when they need something.
