Life’s going to happen (while we’re busy making other plans right). And no, don’t throw away 32 days Darrell (big congrats!). Concentrate on getting better. Work on coming up with alternatives to working out. And know that going back to using is never a solution and never helped anyone, it only got them deeper in the dirt. Never again! Thanks for checking in, it’s one of the tools that work! All success friend.

Last thing an immune system fighting influenza needs is random chemicals. Eat well, sleep well, and let your body do its job. And congrats on your clean time!

Life is nothing more than an adventure of ups and downs. Treat this as nothing more than a lesson life is teaching you. There are other excellent ways to stay clean and sober besides working out. The universe has given you an opportunity to find those.

Painful lesson when all I tried to do is get clean
It is painful. And that’s ok 
Pain is a healthy part of healthy life. Pain is a choice: by accepting pain, constructive pain, we grow.
It sucks. I know.
