Sour candy has been my weakness. 20 days sober here. It’s baby steps.

Yeah, I know… brings nothing good, I see it as poison too. I guess my addict mind is trying to fool me. Tomorrow I’m hitting 7 months, maybe milestones can be a trigger at some point, where you think “now I got this under control”. Total BS, I know! Anyhow, you look gorgeous! Congrats once again! 
And yes… I’m currently sitting with an ice tea! Making wise choices here!

Ps, do you still carve?

Yes. I haven’t carved for a long time. I managed to hang onto most of my stuff and I’ve spent some beer money on some new tools.
I’ve had a hard time finding a place I can set up shop. I’m think I’m getting dialed in on a place. I have to get to know the guy a little better.
My goal is to get set up and be able to carve when I’m not fishing. I think I’m going to retire from crabbing after next season. I’ll carve through the winter and fish and carve in the summer, get back into doing carving events too. I was hoping to do an event this summer. I’ve got too much on my plate.
I’ve got most of this stuff piled up in a storage unit. Its all exotic, highly figured wood.
I miss this shop.

Glad to hear you are making a plan to restart. Being creative is such fulfilment (I mean mentally) in life. And for what I could see you are good in carving so you can make money out of it as well. That’s a win/win!

This was a hard one…. I didn’t like looking back at all my pictures and knowing that in 99.9% of all my pictures I had alcohol in my system… so many emotions mostly sad for the women I had to reflect back on. I’m still working on her daily constantly reminding her she’s worth the fight! May we find strength in this time of reflection and empower each other to keep pushing forward! Many positive vibes sent to all!

You look great!
It’s hard to look at ourselves deep in our alcoholism. It’s also healing. When I dug into my photos, it scared me enough to work harder on my recovery.
Thanks for sharing!

Agree not erasing the past is necessary! Having to stare myself in the face of sooooo many years of avoiding the mirror does heal and I’m looking forward to seeing more of what’s been hiding behind those eyes and face it all!
