on and Thank you all blann peeple. I have lived with blann peeple. (never in private did a blann purrson say anything bad about another blann purrson)

haven't seen any videos of you lately. How have you been doing? Try not to let that stuff bother you about the habits of others. God Bless!

Looks like this video was done a couple weeks ago but so glad to see you're doing well! Wow, you're close to two months now if not past it. Congrats!

Congratulations! You had me worried when I didn't hear from ya! Thought you fell off the wagon! Yikes! Congratulations on still being sober! You will be an inspiration to many so keep on keeping on! God Bless!

I saw this on the local news . It's a start up company that looks for jobs for vets. I thought you might be interested so here is their websight. They also have a facebook page. militarytalentsource.com/jobs/ Good luck

I'm doing well since this video. It was a "get it out of my system" rant. I feel like I was holding on to these negative feelings and emotions and had to let them out. Things have been doing quite better and I just picked up 30 days yesterday. I will be updating again soon. I am still sticking it out and the sun is shining once again. Thank you all for your support and time spent watching these videos. God Bless!

Have been away a week or so and just catching up on your posts. Wishing you continued success in your walk!

Good vent! You had a bad day and glad you ranted here man. Perhaps Bob had a good suggestion about filing for a disability. Hope things are going better for you man. I was out of the loop for a week or so and will be watching for future posts!

What you are going through is called "Life" It will not always be smooth sailing. That's not the way it was designed. How you handle it is how you grow at the emotional level. These are the times when I look up in the sky and ask, "Show me another way!" You will get an answer. You will be surprised but you will get an answer but try to avoid the temptation to perceive yourself as unfairly treated because self pity is ego centered meaning it is a block in the communication link we have with our Higher Power. Talk to your sponsor. You may have to go back to step one which is all about abandoning pride and seeking humility.... What changed for me was when I accepted things the way they were and when I did that....when I validated those negative emotions was when things began to change for me.....I got a really good paying job that I loved, I had money coming in from places I never expected, and my relationships improved! It's ok to be angry as long as it doesn't last. Life is a series of ups and downs. You will get through this. Lastly, I think you should apply for disability. Get yourself a lawyer if you get denied and you will get it. I know a veteran just like you and he could not find a job in his trade which was driving a truck so he applied and gets 3 grand a month. On top of that, he applied for social security disability but got denied so he got a lawyer and won so now he is getting over 4 grand per month and has a good life. I see that for you also. Good luck and God Bless

Good share, real issues experienced during recovery, especially those with friends we used to drink with. Think you’ll find that your friendships will go through a natural reshuffling as you and your values change in you walk. As this happens, avoid making judgements about others and keep the focus on what you can directly effect and “...to accept the things I can not change.” You’re doing great and wishing you continued success!

You were talking about the comradery of friendship and I am reminded of a guy I met in AA but it was before AA in group counseling and he spent some time in jail as a result of his drinking days. The stories he told me were so funny, I died laughing! That's the best part is the new sober friends you make. I got alot of support from those guys when I went through my divorce and I was told things you could only hear from a man and not a woman so it was an important part of my life. If you want a good job, apply to the federal government like the VA. They give guys like you priority, (as they should) My best friend's son was in the iraq war and he came home with ptsd after killing two of the enemy but the VA hired him to handle applications for disability from other vets. He doesn't work very hard, loves the job, and makes a ton of money! Maybe you should look into it, my friend! God Bless

Good seeing your post! Have to admit I was a bit worried but glad you're doing well and continuing to enjoy your new life. I'm about five hundred miles from my home on vacation this week and dropped into an AA meeting yesterday. They made me feel welcome from the start and there was an instant connection, friendship in some cases. Where else can you find that? Happy to see you doing well and wish you continued success!

How’s it going? Haven’t seen a post in a couple days. Would like to get an update regardless of what’s going on. Yes, didn’t get my sleep back to normal for almost a month.

Your struggles are real and where many fail. You can do it bro but you gotta hang in there. Don't be afraid to ask your Higher Power for help. They are there to assist you but cannot do anything without your permission. It is so much easier when you don't have to do it alone.God Bless

I know you don't see it now but you have a great life ahead of you. I am sure of it. alot of people will be helped by your example. You will inspire many bro. Just take it one day at a time like you said and if you really feel you can't get through the day, then see your doctor or go to the ER immediately but do not take a drink! That would put you deeper into the hell you're in right now. One day at a time, one minute at a time bro. You can do it! God Bless

It takes time for your brain to rewire itself, hang in there buddy, it gets better, much better. You just gotta get through the hell you going through right now! Don't give up, you can do it! I will pray for you buddy. Don't let me down :) Yes get it out . Don't hold it in or it will cause far worse damage! I have faith in you...Maybe try more meetings....God Bless

When I got out of treatment, the first thing I did was get rid of all my drinking buddies. They were my triggers and I no longer wanted them to drag me down with them. I made much better and longer lasting friends in AA....God Bless

A great way to practice public speaking is by chairing an AA meeting! I remember the first time I did it, my voice shook and I was so nervous. Even though there was an outline in front of me telling me how to do it, I was still nervous even though I had no reason to be. I hadn't paid much attention to the steps at that point and after I did the steps, it was alot easier. Good luck my friend, I have a real good feeling about you! You will be a shining light for others to follow! God Bless

Good Afternoon, keep up the good work & I recommend journaling too, it helps to get your thoughts on paper and gives you a look back on where you been. Take care.

By the way I use to feel the same way! That's what happens at AA meetings, something deep and spiritual happens to everybody in the room, you can feel it! Nobody knows how or why but you can feel it! You can sense it and it feels good! God Bless bro!

Good share brother and glad you were able to connect with a local group. So hard to explain to others the impact of having people who understand your challenges and support your sobriety. You’re so right not to get ahead of yourself in recovery and enjoy each alcohol-free day you’re alive and being true to yourself. Continued success!

It's always rough in the beginning but it gets progressively better as time goes on. You will have a great life, and inspire many! God Bless.

Congrats my friend, keep up the good fight! You can do this!

You are absolutely right! We have all been brainwashed by out government! My best friend's son came back with ptsd. He called his dad up from iraq and said, " Dad I don't think I will be the same when I get back, I killed 2 of the enemy in the battle for bagdad" He is on partial disability for ptsd but has a nice desk job for the VA. small payment for his sacrifices.... You have a story that needs to be told. Many will identify and will be help. You can do it buddy! One day at a time....God Bless!

Thanks for your share, you can do it sir. It's always a rough start, but definitely worth it. I recently discovered meditation through an app on my phone called Headspace and it is a beautiful feeling in the brain, bringing a lot of peace, reducing anxiety significantly. That and exercise has made this journey less difficult. Take care and God bless.
