You got this!
Great share!

Coming to far to fall backwards has helped me through some of my self created mind obstacles.
Ive made hundreds of steps forward. A drink is a thousand steps backwards. Not worth it!

If that’s a depression scale, it’s time to see the doctor. Take care of yourself. It’s not unusual to discover that we drank to repress these kind of mood states.

Being aware is a singularly important piece of the mental health puzzle.
What you do need to accept is that even the most normal, balanced and happy person will experience all of those things too.
I hope you don’t let experiencing them make you feel like you’ve failed in any way… You haven’t. It’s because you feel them that makes you normal.

I listen to alot of random recovery stuff on YouTube. This gem came on today. Steve O says at two years sober he was still feeling out of touch.

Our recovery time is pretty close. I still have waves of depression hit me hard. Sometimes its a little overwhelming. It sometimes feels like this is as good as it gets? I sometimes feel disappointed that I’m not “cured”.

When I reflect on how I felt when I got here. Its a lot better than it was.

Sometimes I feel fantastic and the very next day, I feel depressed.

I found this inspiring.

TRIGGER WARNING! Shirtless men, Drug, alcohol and self harm footage in this video!

I think its growing pains. The transformation into the best version of me isn’t always going to be comfortable. Processing feelings I haven’t allowed myself to feel so I can get to the other side. That’s where my sadness comes from. I’ve been having a lot of very vivid flashbacks and memories. Things I would mask with alcohol or drugs.

Brandon Novak, another “Jackass”, has a great story as well. Addiction: Tomorrow Is Going To Be Better Brandon Novak's Story #theaddictionseries #dontgiveup - YouTube I find a lot of my own story while listening to others, speaker meetings are what convinced me to keep going after inpatient rehab.

These were taken from footage on my first sober tuna trip four or five days ago.

Setting sail this afternoon to do it again on day 645!

I spent a night in Charleston Marina waiting to offload. I have only good drinking memories there. (I haven’t spent a lot of time there) I spent my time with my camera. Not in the bars! :muscle:

Its hard to keep this lens clean! Ill keep trying!
