Day 132. Yesterday was a nice day off, i wont lie i literally slept all day which i haven’t done in a while, i still have some of my cold so yeah i wasnt complaining. I had a relapse dream and ugh it felt so fucking real and what was most annoying was it was in my hometown, i got in a fight with my step dad, i crashed a vehicle and idk i couldnt talk in my dream bc i was so high. And again i thought i really relapsed. Ive gotten a little taste of the uber and took it again this morning, i just dont wanna get my new parts full of salt. But yeah much love everyone

Quite the number you got yourself there James. And you’re right. We always need to be ready to face battle. Life lived right is constant work. It is a work of love though.

Checking in on Day 25 after sleeping 10 hours! I feel rested. Sure helps. No way I would sleep like that drinking. I might, on a good day, get 6 hours of very light sleep. I’m looking forward to being healthy again. It’s coming.
I never want to go back to the old life.

Day 2,336.
This week begins the biggest changes in my life in quite some time. This is my final week at my old job. It’s been really hard on me sticking out the last 2 months instead of taking an immediate lay off. Lots of things have occurred that make me just want to stop showing up, but I kept going because I made that commitment. My mental health has severely suffered in these 2 months (hello therapy time) but sometimes doing the right thing isn’t doing the easy thing. When my last day is over I will be proud of how I handled myself over these last 2 months.
I am incredibly excited for my next chapter at a new agency, but it’s always scary being the new guy. I am coming into a much larger role than my previous job so the challenge will be fun. Only thing is this new job is in a new city.
So in addition to a major career shift I have also decided to move a new city. The stress of this has been crippling at points but I’ve managed to keep moving forward. There’s many many pros to the move so when I’m settled in my new place it will be easier, but for now it’s overwhelming.
As I’ve known these things will all be taking place within a few days of each other for a while I’ve increased my AA meetings to 5-6 per week. I’ve leaned into the discomfort and stress the best I can. I don’t think about drinking or drugs but all the extra meetings have helped me process the seemingly never ending stream of character defects that have come flooding out of me.

Oh wow, I didn’t realize you were moving as well. I imagine this does add to the stress and moving parts a lot (no pun intended). I am glad and not surprised you are taking care of your self and mental health with increasing meetings. You are so proactive, it is inspiring to me. We all have parts of our selves that need more care than others. Be gentle with your self thru these changes, Derek. Wishing you all the best, as always.

This is very, very smart. Knowing you will be coming back to a place where everything is squared away, nothing needing to be done but to retire to the couch or bed.
I do this anytime I travel, actually. Nice to come back to a clean, uncluttered environment.

Day 2. Today sucks already tired and for some reason already tried twice today. Just the thought of being sober scares me my girlfriend gets home from Rehab on Friday I was supposed to be cleaning months ago and here I am just getting started. Then to top it all off and drop my damn Red Bull and it exploded in my face LOL but I’m not going to use today so there’s that sorry if it sounds like I’m just bitching

Day 8 AF. I’ve found myself on this app alot more. I think it helps I’ve removed Facebook from my phone. I stopped watching the news about 2 years ago and my mental health really enhanced. Removing social media has been another boost. Removing alcohol is the next big thing.
I’m working on being mindful of how much I’m eating/snacking lately but also not trying to give myself a hard time.
I tend to try and do everything at once, get fit, eat right, stop drinking etc and it all falls apart. I’m working on not drinking for now, at 3 months I’ll start working hard to get to my goal weight.
