Day 63: Zero Alcohol

So, last night I threw away my Pipe and my weed. So far i haven't raced to the trash to pull the damn shit out so that i can smoke it again. I'm also not racing off to the dispensary to buy more (Even though i know what I would buy). I'm finding that my first few cigarettes of the day are causing severe coughing fits. So i think in terms of needing to "Cut down" on my smoking.... i really do have to cut down on my smoking. Cannabis is the number one thing that makes me cough... so it would make sense to cut down on that first. I know the original plan was to cut down on the Drinking, then the cigarettes, then the Cannabis.... but i think in terms of what's going to be successful, i should cut down on both the cannabis and cigarettes.... But... Do it sooner than the 90 day / 180 day marks that I was originally shooting for. If i quit cannabis today, and shoot to quit Cigarettes sometime in the next few days... I'll save myself a lot of headaches later on in life.

I owe $1,097 for an accident i was in the other day. The woman doesn't want to submit a claim to her insurance and asked me to pay her cash. Little does she know - I'm flat broke. So.... what that means is i have to spend the next 11 days saving $100 each day so i can pay her before her two week deadline. What would happen at the end of two weeks... I'm not sure (I would just assume she would submit a claim with her insurance - Which i would prefer). I just don't want to be in a situation where I say "Here ya go" to the $1100... and then a few days later she comes back with "You owe me another $1,100." I mean really... her paint is chipped... and that's about all of the damage that happened. So I'll pay to fix the paint.... or so that she can pay a bill, or go on vacation, or do whatever with the estimate money.... But if she tries extorting me I'll have her arrested on extortion charges. 

Speaking of, I gotta get to work in the next hour or so. My wife is house sitting for the next few days, so I'll be home alone for a while. I wouldn't be surprised if I end up dead because i got labeled a "Rat" by a gangbanger in Providence. So i figure the minute they see her out of the house for one night I'm as good as shot. 

We'll see what the weekend brings I guess.

A Bit of Hope on a Cloudy Afternoon.

Tonight we are heading over our friends' house to have dinner and hang out for a while. December 10th isn't really a memorable date. But every year around this time of year things start to happen that give tiny moments like these a real feeling of warming. Today even, it was nearly 60 degrees at one point today and it made this brutal cold seem bearable. It's not safe to be outside during the darkest of winter. Cold brings out the worst in people, and overall it's hard to handle because it also brings out the despair in people. Merge the two together and you could be looking at a cold dark society which emerges in the spring jaded working every year to bring happiness into ones life only to suffer the cold dark winter the following year. Today i have hope though. Recently i was inspired after talking with people that care about me. The best part is... a renewed sense of hope can alter the mind in such a way... it's better than any drug or substance that you can use ...

A lot of planning...

 So, seeing as I'm now out of work again I figure my current system isn't working. If i want to be successful in business and in life, then i need to get my basics down. Recently, I've started making sheets on excel to track what I'm doing everyday. they range everything from Diet and exercise to mood and symptoms. If i don't start tracking this stuff then I'm never going to make progress. While it's easy to put these items into practice using 1000s of apps... i found that just writing it all down on a few excel spreadsheets and tracking it by hand several times a day is a lot easier to remember. And it gets me off my phone. Lately I've be "Doom Scrolling" without any real purpose and what ends up happening is eventually the AI algorithm starts showing me videos of people dying in car crashes. Not exactly what makes me happy ya know. So I've got my lists and that's what I'll be working on for the foreseeable future while i attempt t...

No Sooner Did I Say....

 No sooner did i mention that I have a new job, was i laid off for excessive days off. It's really for the birds. Here i am a disabled person who wants to work... and I've had an incredibly hard time hold down a job this year. Whether it be manic episodes due to the medication my doctor put me on, or the company pulling a bait and switch and finding due to that I'm not qualified for the position, to being out sick a couple of days and getting let go... this year has been terrible. While I've had frequent thoughts of a permanent "Out" for myself from this life... it would seem like a waste to get from an unsuccessful suicide attempt in 2008 to giving it another go 17 years later. I feel like if i survived the first attempt... then i must be here on this planet for some reason so i need to make the best of my time. Even in poor health, an optimistic attitude can make the difference between healing or not.   I don't know what my plan is now. But, i know that ...
