Clean Time: 11 Days
As you can see above, I am very early in my recovery. However, I was 8 years deep into addiction, and in that time I made a pretty big mess.
I lost all respect at my job, constantly calling out. When I did show up I half assed whatever I did. I also spent $8,000 in around two weeks. This part was a mixture of using as well as my Bipolar. So now I am not in the best spot financially.
I have begun the process of fixing this.
•I show up to work when scheduled, on time, stay for my entire shift, and work hard. I’ve already been complimented by a few co-workers about the shift I have made at work.
•I made a budget… Spending it still and issue for me. I’m trying to figure out some solutions to get this under control. Trial and error. 
It’s hard fixing all the damage. I try to remind myself that the mess wasn’t made in one day… so it will take a substantial amount of time to mend everything that was damaged in the time that I was using.
I am glad that I have to opportunity to put in this work though. 
Some of my friends have passed away before they ever had to opportunity to heal and succeed.
