Zat you on the tricycle? Or you that homeless dude on the side of the road? This road is lonely and quiet.

Hmm... Im thinking about pulling a bardichev on all you guys... Then you'll REALLY forget about him

Anyway, I havent posted in a long time. Why? i honestly don't know. I have a bigger question and that is how!?!?

So, you want an update, so here goes:
I'm back home (if you don't know where "home" is, you got issues) after a long break. To be honest, i was geferlech. I think my longest streak up until my current one (you'll get that soon) was about 4 days.
When i'm off schedule and other people are mixing into my life and marriage, i get all tzidoodled and cant keep my hands above my waist. Couple that with the fact that i had a baby (All mazel tovs are hereby late, so forward them to the third floor) I couldnt stay clean. Its funny how the Yetzer Hora convinced me that i had no time to work the 12 steps with someone, but i still found time to act out.

BH, I am now clean for 12 days (sshhh... you're gonna make an Ayin Hora). How? Well the truth is, It's not a product of my work. Its just the fact that I've been packing for and flying home, so i just didnt get arond to acting out. BH I have a crazy schedule this zman, so i hope i continue to "not have time". However, I feel like a dry drunk. I have to actually work the steps and change. I have to be able to stay sober even when the time comes that i wont have a crazy schedule.

More to come soon (if i find time).....

I personally found that I needed a whole bunch of time as a dry drunk until I was even able to even contemplate recovery. Before that I had no perspective at all. So just stay really busy until you are ready.

Offer your wife to stay up with BBL at night, then you can be really exhausted.

well if chazal say that boredom brings struggles i guess being busy keeps them away in a sense,

but of course long term its not the solution like MBJ said we need it to get started, the way i look at it is before we are clean a bit we cant even think straight at all so i guess for now thats good,

kol tuv and a gut chodesh!!!!
