On to day 10

[hurtin4certin]

Hey MH friends, hope everyone had a great day.  I am doing well still, I started going back to the gym on Sunday.  I always hated going to the gym before work but I am now starting to embrace it.  I am now sleeping at least a solid 5 hours straight vs. 2 hrs here and there.  I've been trying to go to bed at the same time every night and I've been waking up at 5:30.  I figured if I am up at that time anyways, might as well continue to work on my recovery by seizing the day and going to the gym before work at 9am!  I noticed today I am getting my happy go lucky, joke cracking self back! Smiling much more, talking to people and having good conversations.  MUCH more social than on my DOC that numbed me and made me just go through the motions and not care about anything/anyone else.  Are my days perfect? Not by a long shot but I don't expect them to be.  Life on Life's terms :-)  I am rolling with the punches and learning that if things aren't going my way, to fight through it because "this too shall pass."  Thanks for letting me share everyone.  Now, if only my Syracuse Orange can learn to fight through it and win a g'damn game.  Because if I can be a die-hard fan of them and stay clean through their losses, I can do anything!!!!!!!  So glad I came to this site! Have a great night everyone!
