Well I got to work yesterday and it went good.
I did have a lot of temptation but didn't give in. I would like to thank all my readers for their comments and support.I know a saying that goes like this "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me." they may not hurt you physically but can do some damage mentally.
I have to do this for myself and no one else or I believe I will fail. I am going to do this for me first, and then maybe the rest will fall into place.
I am hoping I get to work some more in the future so that I can get my fine paid and help around the house. I had a long day at work yesterday, but I enjoyed it. It felt good to get out of the house and into the workforce world. I had several chances to fall but kept myself strong. I even went to my old watering hole and sat down with the guys and proudly drank Mountain Dew.
Something funny, a friend made this comment about me while in the bar " Hell someone take a picture, N***** is in here and drinking a Mountain Dew amazing." Of course this got several laughs and a few questions. One of the old timers said that he was very proud of me for what I was doing. I miss the times I had there at the watering hole back in my home town and I really miss all the money I dropped in the place. I did get some offers to drink but gladly responded I will take a refill of soda if you don't mind. But some of the offers were for beer only. I don't understand this: they will pay 1.75 for a beer but won't pay 75 cents for a soda pop. I shot some pool and kicked ass and took names. This is one of the things I miss about the bar, the games of pool and the money I won while playing. I hope that some day I will be able to do this again. I don't want to make it a habit though because the temptation may get the best of me one time and as we all know all too well what that leads to.Well that is all for know, but I hope to keep you all up to date on my long and bumpy roar to recovery in my little red wagon.
Thanks again, for the helpful tugs on my wagon!
