Good evening family today was a interesting day. I woke up feeling problem free. There was actually nothing on my mind that would of send me over edge normally.

I didn't wake up off and on all night prolonging the morning dreading the beginning of the day I slept through the entire night. I woke up feeling pretty refreshed. I couldn't wait to get the day started to see what's in store for my sobriety journey.

I began to start journaling on this tool I created. I started off with how I felt this morning and entered it into my tool. I felt pretty good instead of trying to retain it in my head. So I got through the morning with entering how I was feeling through out the morning. Then I read it back to myself treating it like my morning therapy.

See when I was drinking and drugging I would talk to myself but I was giving myself the wrong advice and that was how am I going to get money on how to use or drink, my mind stayed scrambling all the time. So today I talk out loud to myself with a clear mind and I get better answers I found talking out loud to yourself you get better results as well as people thinking your crazy LOL!!! But it worx.

Over all I'm starting out right on this next phase of my recovery journey, I had a saying back when I was using and drinking. It was start right end right start wrong end wrong. So the short of it I always started out wrong and it ended wrong.

So the moral of that story try to start out right with everything you do you will have a better results percentage.

With that said family I'm feeling pretty positive I feel like I'm officially starting my life over. So if you struggling to get or stay sober you can do it just trust the process If I can you can because I was a mess. Thanx for letting me share One Day Forward One Day Behind -Shawn

2moro is the beginning of buckling down I celebrated and I'm over it.

I plan on continuing to build my sobriety so that it is unbreakable. I plan to exhibit discipline this next stage I plan on treating my sobriety like going to the gym.

Adding more weight to get stronger to where it becomes a regular routine to keep building on my sobriety. I can't take no days off because I become weak. So in others words if I continued to miss days showing up for my sobriety I run the risk of weakness torwards temptation.

So I have to keep my membership up to date with my sobriety. That means rest, eating right and being fully hydrated at all times. If I can stick to this regiment I think I will be good.

I know this next phase is going to be filled with daily temptations and obstacles that I must be strong enough to conquer what's in front of me.

With that family wish me best of luck. Also if your struggling to get or stay clean you can do it if I can you can and trust me I was a hot mess. Thank you for letter me share, One Day Forward One Day Behind -Shawn
