+ 5 Thank you for the add
Just wanted to say I appreciate the add to the group. I gotta say, I was rather surprised to see that this group here. Very happy to see others here doing big things for themselves.
I was clean for 10 years 5 months. My wife whom I met in the program had relapsed and died. Off I went. 5 years of tearing myself up and I finally made it back. I'm just grateful that I did make it back. 128 days clean today. Just fought a battle with the big C. I've been in remission since March. Huge eye opener of just how short or time is on this rock.
Been back in the gym for a little over a month now. Muscle memory is a beautiful thing. I'm in comeback mode now. Not just in the gym, but life. Thank you for being here and having this group. I'm here if anybody ever needs or just wants to talk. Again, Thanx

Thank you guys for being here! Appreciate the kind words
Now that I know you now a bit better bud, how are doing on this front now? Working it out it must be about a year and 2 months sober?
Pretty spot on brother! Just a few days short of it actually. I'm doing great though bro! Haven't felt this alive and back in the driver's seat in a while. Although I'm aware I owe alot of it to entities outside myself. I'm happy, just being happy brother. Benn a long time since I could say that. Just happy to be alive and healthy. Ya know?
How's everything on your end brother? I've never asked, but how long have you been back at the wheel yourself?
Sorry mate I just got side tracked there when I was responding to you before, I am coming up to 10 years unbelievably in 3 months time
If someone said that to me all those years ago I would of said I will be dead at 70 before that ever happens, but somehow it has. I'll never ever forget the night that I stopped buddy, it was quite surreal with all the lead up and what I prayed for that night. I think because I made a deal with God and swore on my life somehow it came true, from that night onwards I never once sat down and thought about doing it again. There were times during the summer when I would be out in shops with an injury so unable to train, wondering was I missing out on things but then I would give my head a shake and question how the hell could I live with myself the next day if I relapsed?!
I am REALLY Glad to hear you are Sober and well with everything that has happened pal, I can see how much you enjoy life now and that makes me happy too
I love it brother! I'm gonna be back at that 10 year mark again. One day at a time. I went through something similar in agreement with God, that if I pulled through it all I would make the best out of every last breath I'm blessed with. And yeah, sometimes those thoughts come but you know they may always be there. There isn't a thing in this world that could lead me back down that path. Life is too precious brother! You're a good dude and I'm proud of ya! As we know, not many can pull themselves out of the gutter and put together what you've done, what I've done and what we'll continue to do. Glad I met ya brother and I'm always here if ya wanna talk.
Love and Hugs to you~! Welcome and Grateful we are on journey together. Grief sucks. I relapsed when my lover was murdered. Recovery is better. Love my life today. You will get here too, One Day At A Time.
Prayers to stay strong and keep the faith. I’m sorry for your loss.
Glad to have you my brother. And I'm trying to make a comeback as well. Prayers to you as well!
Brilliant to have you here mate!
I can completely understand why you relapsed because of your wifes passing, every single one of us would be devastated beyond belief if that were to happen. Really well done on the cancer battle too bud.
