Day 200

Well its Tuesday all, and for some people this is just another day. For me, however, this is a milestone...

I haven't had a drink for 200 days.

As all my loyal readers know, some of my times on here in the last 200 days have been a little rocky. Also, as you all know, I have learned a lot in the last few months.

Without my family and a certain few friends, I would be nothing, and I thank you all for everything. From being there when I needed you, to just talk to, or to kick my ass into gear to do things that I have either been wanting to do, or needing to do.

Every day I wake up and I look around, the sky is always there and has some colors in it although not always blue. Somewhere there is a green piece of grass, letting you know that everything in the past is exactly that, the past. The present will set you up for the future, so there is no need to dwell on what will happen. Just focus on what is happening.

I have been working on myself for the last seven months. I have realized a lot of things. I now know that I am happy with myself, another person would be great in my life, but I had to realize this first. I know that I can accomplish ANYTHING I put my mind too. I don't need alcohol to make me realize anything, and I certainly don't need it to forget anything. Life is all about learning, and as long as you learn, there is nothing to regret.

I want to thank all of the people who said I couldn't accomplish what I wanted. Theres no way you could lose that amount of weight. Theres no way you could look like you did the first time you went to basic training. That was exactly the motivation I needed. So thank you, and Fuck you at the same time. Besides a few wrinkles, I weigh less now then when I went to basic the first time.

I have accomplished so much in life. I have a good job (hell of a drive, but its a sacrifice I have to make). I bought a house and have paid for it on my own before I was thirty. I have loved, I have lost, and I have learned. Not all women are going to screw you over, you just have to find the right one. Being cautious is OK, just don't let it interfere with everything else.

Things come and go. Family and true friends stay forever, no matter where you are. Love comes and goes. Its the natural order of things, and for once I am at peace with who I am.

Its never too late you do what you really want. If you aren't happy change it. I did, and I am back to being the old Sam.

Regret nothing, Its in the past.....
