Crunch week, scared too death

This week I am going to be threading a ton of needles, but I am up to the challenge. Essential I am quite a ways away from my rent still, I am not phased, I am certain some way temp labor will get me to what I need for rent. If not, it takes a little while to evict so before they evict if I come up with the rent they can still evict, but I doubt they would too much hassle, no matter what going to make a payment of what I do have.

This week scares the hell out of me. My sobriety will be in jeopardy if I don't stay positive. Positive, positive, positive, I have a horrible habit of giving in days 15 to 30 and here I am again. This time is different though, I am smoke free too.

Its funny, you would think it would be worse not smoking, but its about the same, suffering is suffering ( wait there I go negativity). Not smoking has made food taste better, I am sleeping better, and its nice not huffing and puffing all the time.

Wish me luck friends its go time, crunch week, gotta make the green, not drink or smoke, stay medication compliant, and no matter what make this a positive week even if the worst happens. Negativity and sadness, anxiety, only adds to problems.

I gotta eat, breath, sleep, live, espouse and ( enter exploitative here) sobriety, do the same my friends we can do this.

TDG - all you can do is your best. Your landlord seems pretty cool?

Kick some goals for sure - but don't drive yourself into the ground - you'll be no good for anything or anyone then, ok?

I’ve never known a more supportive and compassionate group of people than the people on this website, and right now we’re all pulling for you. Keeping that in your thoughts may help keep the negativity at bay. You can do this!!!!

You will be okay! It did sound like your landlord was pretty reasonable. Some minor bumps ahead at the worst but things will get better.

You will get there Jeremy. Seems like your landlord understands. Maybe he will take partial payment on the rent for now?

My landlord is pretty cool, its his boss that isn't cool. However, I know that my landlord does have my back, if I can get him all the rent but a 100 or 200, I am pretty sure I am safe. That basically means at min wage my wife and I need to work 6 shifts this week. Through day labor that is a hit and miss game, but we will pull it off.

Go for it & good luck

Keep focussed on what you have to do. You need your head clear to do this.
