Man, four days. In some ways it seems like four weeks. In other ways it seems like less. Either way, Im happy about it.

I got sober on 7/13/07 one year ahead of you. I lost most everything too. Especially my sanity. Get a sponsor, go to meetings, work the steps, get a service position. You've probably heard that before, but it really does work. Good luck.

Time2 - Glad to see your traveling the clean road on your quad. Would love to see more videos of your time on the quad. It looks like it is quite a freeing experience! Keep up the great work and please keep posting. Look forward to your new entries every day.

"Life is a highway and I want to ride it all . . ." Everytime I see your avatar I now hear that song. At least its not an annoying song and happens to be one I like.

Thanks. It feels good to be on the road to recovery. I like Rascal Flatts. I wanna make a video to "Rollin" by Rascal Flatts. Im glad you like my videos. I appreciate that. I love making and editing them. This is probably one of my best as far as editing goes. YouTube - Honda TRX450 Rules!!!!!!! Riding in Oregon I like this one. YouTube - Honda TRX450 My "Remedy" and this was the 2nd video I made when I first started. YouTube - "Browns Camp" Version Of "Save A Horse Ride A Quad"

Still day 8. Feeling much better today. Slowly doing more and more each day. Eating right and sleeping on a normal schedule too. Cooked up a big batch of spaggetti today. I dropped some serious weight on my relapse. About 45 lbs. I have gained 20 lbs in the last 8 days. A lot of it was probably water. I wasnt drinking or eating at all. Just doin dope. Pretty sad. Im exercising too. Worked a little last week and went quading twice last week. Really sore from yesterdays ride. Arms, shoulders, legs, but thats a good thing. Getting ready to go to a meeting now. Meeting # 10. Im using this thread to count my 90 in 90.

Thanks Kevin. I will defineatly do the 90 in 90. 180 in 90 would be cool, but working makes that one kinda hard. A meeting per day is no problem though.
