7/13/08 - Day one
 

Day one. My new clean date is 7/13/08. I look like crap and feel like crap. Been sleeping a lot and drinking a lot of water. Its been a rough ride. Spiritually, emotionally, and financially bankrupt. I've pretty much lost everything. Im going to post here once a day. :praying

We're behind you all the way...just like those guys in the verison network! :ghug3

You havn't lost everything T2, you still have so much. You have your life and a bright future ahead of you. You have done this before and you can do it again. But dont think about the future - only today. :)

Chin up bro......glad your back and going to post once a day. Looking forward to hearing from ya on this thread. Wishing you the best man ~~ Scotty

I'm really glad your here. Please keep posting!

Mike...:hug:
Forward we go...side by side

Hopefully you never have to feel as bad as you do right now.....ever again.


Hope things go well for you - don't worry about what's happened in the past or what you've lost -work on your plan to get them back.

be careful if you're doing this detox alone.........keep posting.......

We are right here with you all the way!
It will get better! Big hugs!

Good Onya Mike. One day at a time

At least you're here Mike, thank God for that. Congrats on day one. There'll be support here every day for you. But you already know that! :ghug

We will be right there with you, all the way. We're all in this together. We can do this!!:ghug3

If you had lost lost everything thered be no post here for me to read. So oyu have the most important thing left you can have your life!!

I use to obsess about all that was lost " I had nothing" or so I thought. The best thing I could ever have came from "losing everything". I was givin another chance, opportunity to make change. Total change. because I had nothing I had nothing to hold onto nothing to cling to. No commitments or obligations = FREEDOM. Freedomt otake the time for yourself. Take the time to heal and think about what you really want out of life and figure out what steps(probably baby steps) you need to take to get to where you go.
Your here and you havent given up and thats all that matters right now. There are many people here cheering you on. so dont you give up

Much love to you

Thanks everyone. Day two. I took the quad out for a couple hours today so I could get some fresh air and execise. (Sounds like a good excuse to me) :) I've gained about 10lbs over the weekend. Probably mostly water. Been drinking a lot of water. Still craving pretty hard, but I try not to dwell on it. Heading off to a meeting soon. It will be the first one in a while. One day at a time. Right now this is not easy, but I know its time. Its really good to have all the extra support from everyone here at SR. Later, Mike :)

Congratulations! I have been there. Thanks for joining on your first day to a better life.

Sounds like you're on the right track, Mike! Hang in there!!

Glad to hear that you got out on the quad today. It's amazing how much quicker you can heal by not dwelling on how bad it seems and just jumping back into life. It gets better faster when you start doing what you love. It's very therapeutic! :)

I'm happy that you are back here. I missed you around SR! :)

Well done, Mike. You're on your way. Like riding the quads, the road might be a little rough, but you'll not only handle it, you'll find yourself loving it.

Just finished day three and I am now on day four. Been doing two meetings per day and will continue to do so as long and as often as possible. Spent a little time with my sponsor this evening. I feel much better than I did a couple days ago. Words cannot express how much the support I have recieved from SoberRecovery has helped me. You guys have played a major role in saving my life. :) As I mentioned in my first post, I will be posting here once per day until this thread reaches its capacity.

mike, your helping us also...

keep up the work...

i dont say good, the humility bit you know! lol
