Work

Crazy stuff man. I haven't been working much and I thought it's cause it's slow, which it is. BUT, with some positive thinking and doing suddenly the future seems a heck of a lot brighter. I landed a couple jobs today and there are a couple more to look at and positive accumulation is taking over. Now I'm way less stressed and the story goes on.....

Blah. That's how today went. I shouldn't say that after reviewing the day. It wasn't a bad day at all. My mind was just trying to trick me into negative thinking all day. I fought back and in the end it really wasn't a bad day. So there. Looking forward to taking over the world!

Movin on.

I find a lot of the stuff I've been doing so far in tools is similar to what they had us doing in the first treatment center I went to over five years ago. Repitition, doing things to constantly remind myself that I am trying to create change and better my current situation. Tools may be better because as soon as I left rehab I started to let things slide and shrugged it off as being not important. It did work. I stayed sober for a year and a half and my life changed dramatically. Since then I have had many periods of sobriety with the odd binge thrown in. When I've followed the checklist as best I can, my mood has improved. Yesterday, I slacked off and threw a few golf clubs around. Golf is an amazing guage of mental and emotional health. Anyway, today I am having a great day as we sold our house today and it kinda does feel like Christmas or something. Movin forward with life and I am actually coming along for the ride instead of trailing behind.

Great

Today is a great day. I'm really beating that one into my head. Seems like its the only thought I have right now. Got the day off so I'm going golfing in the wind. If it's still a great day after that I'll be impressed.

Day 2

2010-05-02 11:03:06 GMT

Here I go again trying to better myself. It seems my entire life for the last five years has revolved around some method of betterment. Ever since I decided to give up the drugs and alcohol. I've been to rehab twice and been in and out of AA since. Now I'm married with a child and the old habits are takin over yet again. My wife was out the door after my last binge but had to turn around after she found out she's pregnant again. Heard about this program from our good friend Ellis and seeing as I can't stand the poeple in other programs I've been in I"ll give er a go. One good thing I have gotten out of these last years is a strong will to finish what I've started. So here we go again.
