progress

about three years ago I quit xtc, speed and coke

about five months agon I quit drinking, smoking weed and porn...

about two weeks ago i quit drinking coffee and red bull...

this is my third day without sigarettes....

i'm out of debt tomorrow....

i'm going to university next month, if i'm too late with my application (life didn't give me the option sooner), i'm getting another job that hopefully stimulates me more and i'll do some homeschooling...

The loneliness, moodswings and depressions are slowly dissapearing...

I need to sum this kinda stuff up every once in a while, always had a bit of selfasteem issues...but when i read my own words back...i realise i'm starting to become a man...actually trying to make the best out of life with the means i got....still got plenty of time, im only 25...

Hey man, thanks for your positive post. I'm in a similar boat as yourself in some respects. Trying to get my head together and get my life in order while I'm still young.

The great thing is that I know what my problem is and so I can do something about it.

Rock on Brother.

You are doing amazing.

Much of the time it doesn't seem like that because we are being brutally honest with ourselves on daily basis. Other people notice the changes though for me. A friend told me that it is "hard to see the picture when you're in the frame" after he said that I had changed but I didn't necessarity feel different.

congrats to you - this is weird, i'm new in sobriety, i hear honesty honesty honesty, when i think of being honest, i think of a lot of negative things (not exactly sure why) just the fact of getting honest with myself seems scary..this was nice to read - your being honest, saying all these things going on in your life - that's honesty, and that was positive and refreshing to me - thanks!
