I'm Done - Day 6

I continue to have the absolutely strangest dreams, bar none, of my entire life. Full of metaphor, my wife loves to interpret them but I do not attach much meaning. Obviously, my chemistry is changing and that is being manifest in different ways. My skin looks better, im losing weight slowly however I am eating enough to sink a ship. No complaints. My head is beginning to clear.

My mother recently passed quite suddenly, so my father has been sort of a loner lately. Went to have lunch with him today and made plans to spend time with him next weekend.

I am grateful today for my father. He was a hard, strict father to me. At some times I hated him, and even wished him dead as a teenager eaten up with self importance sometimes would. However, as a man I see that he simply was a product of his own upbringing, and his father's father's as well. He was hard on me, but the man he forged is in here still. As the veils of my addiction is slowly, inexorably lifted, I am catching glimpses...

Thank you, dad. I love you.

Forward.

The dreams subside, but they are kind of fun haha. My dream last night was ridiculous >_<.
Congrats on day six! It sounds like your father was a good man despite being hard on you, we don't always need parents as friends while growing up.

I didn't have dreams for 10 years. At least none I remember. It's actually nice to dream again. I always had weird dreams though so it's like seeing an old friend again.
