Hey man. Just started second year of uniā¦ Iām pretty good. Nice to see this actually perfect timing as a big lonely today. Being in a strange town again. Havenāt been apart of recovery much lately as Iāve been working so much. But aim to change that sooner than later. Three years sober in two months. How about you My man? Well I hope?

Hey hey, still around, just mostly lurking. I got COVID a little over 6 weeks ago and am now going through extended/long COVID. I canāt win with this damn sickness! Been off work the whole time and not looking like Iām going back anytime soon.
Glad to see that your still looking great and doing even better! Iāll be hitting 5 years in June! No way Iām falling off this wagon, just canāt do it. I wonāt drink because I donāt drink, and the same for drugs. Iām having some roughness because I always said 5 years is early sobriety and Iām nervous to be out of early sobriety. But trying to keep the expectations down and just be grateful everyday.

Mike, my man, Iām so glad to see you back up on your feet and moving forward like a champ! No worries about coming to see me, Iām a recluse anyway lol. You always have a special place in my heart! You got my number, you know where Iām at.

Congratulations!
You deserve all the happiness and love that this life has available.
The tattoo poses quite a challenge (emotionally), Iām sure. Body art is so incredibly personal.
Perhaps the way through it is to allow your design idea to change into something you DO like. Can it be modified into something cool, but different than the original idea?
As for the crisisā¦ I honestly canāt even begin to understand what thatās like. It breaks my heart though.

Dāaaaw youāre the sweetest.
I would say Iām āhalf-backā.
I do intend to contribute more as time goes on but, as you would expect, things are a little busy for me these days. 
This morning I was catching up on some of the talk (about my situation) that went on while I was away.
You guys simply take my breath away.
I am so grateful to be a part of this community.

Hi @BroccoliHighKicks and @HoofHearted
Thanks so much for noticing my lack of activity on TS, and particularly on āmy pickleā thread. Itās so nice that people look out for each other on here!
I had a relapse nearly a month ago, and was too embarrassed to publicly announce it. I PMd a couple of people to let them know.
Iām just really stuck in my old habits and thoughts ATM. Iām still reading other peopleās stories and trying to find a way back onto the path of recovery.
I know once l start racking up AFDs lll start to feel better about myself, but Iām just not looking forward to those 1st few days.
