I have absolutely had the best day so far. I made good decisions and it paid off. I worked and then went to dinner and down to the walking bridge and the aquarium with my daughter and granddaughter, and had a very good time. THERE IS LIFE AFTER DRUGS! I know I have a long way to go but I truly feel I have never taken my life to this level, but I did not get here alone. I'm on the drug addict side, my daughter already had a life and has put time aside for me after numerous let downs on my part. All day I thought about two things that have played a very important part, actually starting to live a life, and the belief my daughter had in me and the hope she had for me, and my blog. Putting my life out there for everyone to judge, this is like an outlet for my mind. I have decided that after day 10 I am going to review what I have written and try to prioritize what I have learned. I am hoping that my daughter will write about her first 10 days being on the sober side of my train wreck. Well, I think that's it for today, if you don't hear from me tomorrow I'm an idiot.

Jim, your writing is very compelling and intelligent...I hope the accountability of a blog will help you to keep moving forward.
ReplyDeleteIt is doing more then helping me move foward it is giving me my life back.
ReplyDeleteJim, be careful. There are treacherous waters ahead. This blog is a tool, a good tool; keep using it, but it's not what's giving you your life back. There is only One who has the power to do that. Still praying.
