Day 150
Today I'm 5 months sober, after work today I'll have worked close to 50 hours this week and 45+ this whole summer! Starting to take it's toll on me mentally and physically. Still managing going to the gym 3 days a week though, Glad the summer tourist season around here is coming to a end shortly! I didn't think that when I started this journey that I would have made it this far down the path without turning back or going astray. I'm 25 now, but from the ages of 16-24 I look back and realize I felt the need to be accepted by others or be cool in the eyes of high school friends or potential friends by rolling up that extra joint at a party or buying that extra drink at the bar or bottle at the liquor store. Now not to sound selfish but it's nice to have that weight of pressure lifted off of me I don't care to much of trying to be cool in the eyes of others. I just act as myself and do what I thinks best for me and my future.
It hasn't been a easy 5 months with the craziness of working in a popular and well established busy restauraunt. With crazy co workers who indulge in drinks after a long busy day! I've done my time with that I feel like and it's gotten me no where but to be content with who I was! Theirs always more out their for you! It's just not going to come in my first 5 months of being sober I'm giving it time and taking each day as a good one regardless of how it goes because the days are growing shorter as I grow older and you never know which one will be your last. As for that I hope everyone is having a good holiday weekend and had a great sober summer!

Fantastic!!!
Brad - please embrace and cherish the gift that you're giving yourself!!
Oh.... if I had only 'gotten it' at 25!!!!
Oh, to have avoided the waste of my life that I poured down my throat only to vomit back up. Oh, to have avoided the misery I caused myself and others.
It took me 16 years longer to really get it.....
Congratulations. May you continue to honor your sober path!
