Work is still driving me fucking nuts! The problem is I love what I do, the difference I can make in my students lives, it's just the fucked up administration here... Between the admin and the govenment b.s. it's hard to get anything done! And sad to say it's not all about the students like they claim, it's about the numbers and the money... Tuesday I struggled, I was so fed up all I wanted to do was get a can of chew, and a case of beer and get FUBAR! I didn't but the urge was there and strong... Thank goodness I had the SMART tools and supportive friends and family to help me through this. Today is day #48, so a bit crazy, but doing good. If tomorrow is a nice day, I'm going Carveboarding!

WOW it let me log in...
Anyway, Doc I realy glad you are using your tools to keep your cool durring the insane times. Both the drugs and the tobacco (also a drug) will not make the anial types go away, but it may lead you to say something you shouldent have and then you are out on your ass, which would probably lead you in even deeper.
Before you know know it we will be celebrating months, an then years, way to go dude.
PS I have the chips made up I will up load them to my site and send you the url and you can down load them.

53 Days! Things are improving at work... The lines of communications have been opened up. It took a major temper tantrum on my part, but as long as it worked, that's what matters. I quit working overtime, I need to focus on life balance and health, physical, mental and spiritual. I began feeling burnt out at work and realized I was working far too many hours and neglecting other areas of my life. Still sober and nocotine free though!

Still here, still clean and sober... Work is nuts, we have a government assessment coming up next week. All the management and administrators are jumping throught their butts trying to get ready! They are all worked up and look like a bunch of monky's trying to hump a football!!! My Supervisor may be transferring to another center in Astoria Oregon. If he does, I have to take over his responsibilities... We'll see what happens. Next week should be as fun and joyful as a severe case of hemeroid...

Day 87 here... Still sober, but not doing so good on the nicotine front. I'm kind of in a funk right now, feeling blah, and depressed. I feel so all alone and have no passion for life right now. I wish I knew what was going on... I know part of it is the stress at work. I also know I need to get back on my meds, Proazac and Depacote, as much as I hate to do so, I know at this point in time it would be the smart thing to do.

Kind of a tough day today, It's my Birthday today (45), and I really wanted to party... I didn't though, stayed home, had dinner, watched a movie and behaved myself.

Well, as some people already know I had relapsed... I am back on the board again though. Today is day 12 for me. I checked myself into an outpatient rehab program. Today was my first appointment. The counselor was nice, and I think it will be good for me. I'm also attending a couple of AA meetings a week now. So, I'm back and doing ok. I got myself into some trouble while I was back out there, but I will be alright. I'll have some wreckage from my recent past to deal with, but this too shall pass.

Happy 12 days
As my father says , falling flat on your face is at least a step in the right direction. The main thing is now you pick your self up dust ypur self off and continue to trudge the road of happy destiny.
Going to meetings again is good, sharing here and your other forums is also good, keeping in touch with your fellow addicts via phone, e-mail etc is also a major help. BUT YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE MINDSET TO STAY SOBER! Sorry I didn't mean to shout but it is the most important part of the or any program, it won't work unless you work it bro.

It's two weeks today. I went to a good meeting last night. It really sucks to have to walk in and introduce yourself as a newcomer again, especially when there are people you have known for years present. I swallowed my pride and did what I needed to do... Yesterday was my 21st wedding anniversary, and Karen fully supported me going to a meeting. Just makes me realize how blessed I really am!
I am going to another meeting tonight.
Roger "Doc".
