Hi @Salty, thanks for thinking of me. I am doing great, 18 months sober in January. The parental situation is still the same but over this whole last 18 months I realized I can’t control other people and their actions, only myself. How have you been?

I’m doing good. Ready for crab. Its looking like it will open Jan 15th. I’m on a Different crab boat. Matt and I ditched the drunken skipper this year. The opportunity opened up and I took it. Its such a relief to not have to tolerate or worry about previous employers bullshit. He is struggling for crew. Its awesome! The best revenge is to live well.
Its a 75 percent clean and sober crew. We cannot find a clean and sober bait guy. We have a undependable tweaker or a mostly dependable, functioning alcoholic to choose from. Hopefully the functioning alcoholic ends up being the guy.
Four Months since I quit smoking. I started changing my habits because I wasn’t comfortable not smoking. Spending time on my phone or the computer was a huge trigger. I waste a lot of time online. Cutting back has been good for me.
I still cruise through TS almost every day. I keep caught up on easy threads like selfies and nature. I’ve become more focused on meditation, and breathing exercises.
I’ve been working on my YouTube channel really hard when I’m not fishing Its been blowing up! Thats really exciting!
Quitting smoking was huge! I never realized how much of an emotional crutch it was, until it was gone. I feel like I’ve reached a new level of letting go. I like it!
