GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

seriously,,, that IS great…. your off to a teriffic start Wink

I remember being SO RELIEVED,, ,not having to "hustle" a plan each morning, for how I was
gonna "make it” thru the day……
uggghhhh dont miss that shit, AT ALL!!!

just keep in mind, recovery is sometimes your bright new shiny "thing"
at first. and a few months down the line, just being clean and sober, whatever you wana say, well,
it can get old/boring/not as exciting/relieving anymore….

that’s what happened to ME< anyways,,,, and I would think all the time,, I can NEVER ever do drugs again???
and I’d get sad/upset/deppressed

so just have a "plan" in case that happens,,,,
new hobbies are good,

don’t forget to "reward" yourself,,,, I for instance would buy something under $25 for myself,with each paycheck,
so every two weeks….. I needed clothes, becuz everything had cigarette burns in it,,, so I’d buy a new hoodie or
jeans or something to kind of reward myself, for not doing drugs,,,,
and as time went on, the REWARDS got a lil better…….
yesterday I bought myself a new MP3 player,,,,,,,, it was on sale of course, so I didn’t go nuts, but Im just
saying theres
NOTHING WRONG with rewarding yourself,,,
you are making a HUGE, positive change, and YOU DESERVE IT!!!!

Keep on truckin’ your doing GREAT


Right now I’m currently unemployed so my dad has been buying things for me (he is 6 months clean from compulsive gambling). 3 days ago my father bought me a Galaxy S3 cell phone as an early Christmas present, the next day he purchased me a 12 week gym membership and a personal trainer for me as well. I’m going to start eating right and excersizing, that’s what the trainer is for.

My dad bought me food scale and workout clothing yesterday so come Monday I’ll be ready. I can’t wait to get back into shape and build some muscle back (when I was using it all turned to fat). My dad bought me the cell phone because he said he was happy that I reached 2 months clean. I’m very lucky to have him in my life or else I’d be screwed.
