I wish I hadn't fucked up my life so bad.

It's not so bad that it can't be rebuilt, but it really sucks.

Rock Bottom isn't a fun place to be.

I used to have a firm grip on my drug use plus work, but after 2 years it started to get out of hand. I've lost my job, my wife, and self respect.
I'm currently getting my shit together... first by getting my mind and body into the shape it used to be. Spirituality? We'll work on that later.

 

Rock bottom isn't a fun place to be...i'm still pulling myself up....

but it is your turning point to a better life. hope you can pull yourself out.

 

I started by ditching the Alcohol. I can trace most of my problems to that.

I've been sober 11 days.

 

The journey begins with one step, bro. Best of luck.

 

logan, im pretty much at the same place as you.

dont worry though, things get better and better with steps.

also, remember it feels good to feel good.

 

I've been working out and reading a lot more.

The turning point for me was Stacy dieing. She would have wanted me do it.

 

And she will be with you every step of the way.

 

yeah she would have.

do you feel better now that you've been excercising? ive been running about four times a week lately... me, running...crazy

but i notice a huge difference.

 

You get a good natural high when you work. Besides when I start dating again it'll help my self confidence plus I look damn good when I put on some muscle.

 

good for you man,
im three days sober now myself...

 

36 days here

 

Best of luck- I have nothing but respect for anyone willing to pick him/herself up. I suspect the spiritual part will take care of itself as you find success with geting your life back on track.

 

Congratulations!

 

thanks stinkfoot.

and (he?) is right about the spiritual part taking care of itself... mind, body and soul are very connected.

 

Excellent guess... I be a "he".

 

you have to guess?

 

Not if you met me in person.

 

haha

 

My dad always told me "you'll never learn how to get back up if you never fall on your ass"

so I fell on my ass a LOT until about age 25 -- then things finally starter to come together

It's cool that all of you are getting sober -- an altered state is fun, but some stupid shit really happens then.

"Even the longest journey begins with a first step" -- I love that quote

Peace, y'all
