- Today is a milestone for me as I hit 6 months sober. It is still hard for me to wrap my head around but I did it. Ironically, I will be spending a chunk of my day in Mountain Home for Hayden's softball games. I went to high school in Mountain Home and this is where I also started my unhealthy association with booze.

- I went with "other" for my birthday movie and watched "Cannonball Run" with Kyle as he wanted to watch this one for a while now. We also watched "Tropic Thunder," another movie on his wish list but he had to wait until he was 14.

- Speaking of Kyle, he has really taken a big step forward with track this season. He sets a new PR almost every time he runs and is consistently running 6-minute miles and runs under 3 minutes in the 800. He is doing all of this while dealing with a really bad case of shin splints. We are really proud of him.

Short and sweet today as we have a busy day of softball and choring.
Hope you are doing great and I will talk to you tomorrow.
Hope you are doing great and I will talk to you tomorrow.

I will be the stream.

DeleteCongrats on 6 months!!! Enjoy your weekend with the kids. I just received a photo of my 3 YO granddaughter at her first t-ball practice. She looks like her mama, throwing that ball (my daughter who was a pitcher).
ReplyDeleteThank you

DeleteI know how hard it is to quit something. I quit smoking 14 years ago. I won't start again; I don't intend ever to quit again. Congratulations on six months sober, and on the courage to get there.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joanne
DeleteWay to go!

DeleteBig congrats to you on 6 months!
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteYikes, shin splints? I've had them and they're painful. Ice? Congratulations on your six months! Mountain Home, hmmm. I know someone from there, my financial advisor. I'm going to send you an email.
ReplyDeletePretty awful they are and thank you.
DeleteHappy 6 months! That's pretty awesome. Hayden is running with shinsplints?!!!! Holy cow. That kid's as determined as his pop.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debby. It is Kyle actually.
DeleteShin splints and running do not go together.
ReplyDeleteAgreed
DeleteCongratulations on your sobriety! Oh what fun it would be to be 14 again, living with the Shifely family and reliving all those movies again!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ed. Just let me know when you want to stop by for a visit.
DeleteWell done on six months of sobriety!
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteThat's good news, Mr. S. It's not an easy thing to make big changes in life, and you are doing it. I drank more than I should have in university and it never led to any good. I was tempted to use alcohol to numb the pain since my husband's death, but I was afraid for my health (I have a fatty liver so it's already stressed). Now if I could just get a better handle on my emotional eating . . . and I am making progress, it's just not a straight line. Kudos to you and here's to success for all those who struggle.
ReplyDeleteThank you, jenny_o, and keep taking care of yourself.
DeleteP. S. Kyle sounds like a natural runner . . . aided by hard work and the ability to ignore pain :)
ReplyDeleteHe has really worked hard this season. Really proud of him.
DeleteCongratulations to both of you!
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteI'm so proud of you..It's been so long since I quit I actually forget..think it's about 30 years or so..you're doing good Mr Shife..really really proud of you.
