He's shown me a couple of different ways. I've been to an outpatient meeting. It was fantastic because we didn't have to talk about all those stupid steps that I'm never going to do and, honestly, didn't do the first four years I was sober except for #1. My motivation is getting my wife back. I get my wife back, I get my kids back. If she never comes back, it's being the best Father I can be.
HALT. We're never supposed to be that, right? Well, I'm hungry because my appetite is ****. I'm angry because you made me angry. I'm lonely because my wife and kids aren't here and I'm in my house by myself. I'm tired because I haven't slept. With that said, I still haven't given in to the bottle and I've had plenty of opportunity.
And you quoting me about why I wear a fitbit and me explaining my job. I am a police officer. Excuse me for not wanting to be some 300lb, donut eating stereotype
