    Here's a piece I did over Christmas. I haven't really done much of canvas painting but I see my self doing more in the future. It's a nice change of pace over drawing and less demanding.

    Hitting a brick wall at full speed.

    I had my second appointment with my counselor yesterday. He said I have alot of work ahead of me but he sees I'm willing to put in the work. I'm learning one of my biggest problames is I'm really anti social. It's a really hard one to not slip back into. But I've been trying to reach out to alot...

    Hitting a brick wall at full speed.

    Thanks. That makes alot of sense. I've been walling my self off from almost everyone I know. I even though getting rid of all my social media accounts was going to help me but all it did was cause even more isolation. I know I have more fight left in me. I won't let this take me down. :) I just...

    Hitting a brick wall at full speed.

    Tonight has been a bad night. I made it 2 hours into my shift at work and just broke down. I had to have my fiance pick me up. It took her a couple of hours to calm me down. I told her everything I had been hiding. That my will to live is gone and I've been masking my emotions just to try to get...

    I haven't been much of a reader most of my life but I've been reading Nick frosts bio the last couple of days. It's amazing how some of the people that make you laugh the most had very little to laugh about in there life's. After I finish this book I'm going to move on to the hatchet series. I...

    I felt terrible the first year. It truelly takes the body awhile to build it's way back up. I think I'm on year 5 or 6. I truelly stopped counting. But I hope you keep it up. There's alot more to life then hiding behind a bottle. If you fall off the wagon it's not the end of the world either...

    That it does. Atleast now I know what I'm waking up to. As grim as it may seem to me some days atleast I know I'll wake up at home in my bed unharmed and not done harm to others.

    Hitting a brick wall at full speed.

    I did. I was a 5th of jack or 24 pack a day drinker. When I quite I felt like I lost all of my friends and anything I enjoyed doing. But that passed and I found a few good people that didn't need me to drink to spend time with me.

    Hitting a brick wall at full speed.

    Keep up the good work. I know alcoholism isn't an easy thing to get a handle on. I've watched family and friends get taken down by it and wasted a good portion of my life black out drunk. It's common place here to be high functioning alcoholics so to give it up I've become the odd duck out. But...

    Nothing's stirring not even a mouse. Well and maybe some anxiety

    Sorry I didn't mean to leave you hanging. I realized I was slipping back into my old habits of over thinking and wasn't keeping up with my daily regiments so I just spent the last couple of days getting my self back on track and just taking every day one step at a time. They have me on a med...

    Nothing's stirring not even a mouse. Well and maybe some anxiety

    I've been off of work on medical now for a month already. I should be feeling better because I have been able to focus on my mental health but it seams like all I've managed to do is push stuff off at an alarming rate. Between the new meds they put me on and the supplements I take to help with...

    What are you good at???

    I'm good at anything to do with working with my hands. I spent alot of time alone threw out my life so I've always gravitated towards just learning skills like wood working ,auto mechanics, furniture restoration/upolstery and construction. Pretty much a jack off all trades and a master of none...

    First step to finding my self again.

    I remember playing the 7th final fantasy and still own it. I truelly enjoyed it. When I get our playstation hooked up I'll have to bust it out again.

    Feeling Low Low

    The one thing I learned at an early age is that family doesn't always mean related. My dad was an abusive druggy drunk that beat on his family any chance he got. My mom was a drunk that floated at the bottom of a bottle like a like a cigarette butt and then suddenly became the "world's best...

    Undiagnosed I think I have PTSD? Flashbacks and Nightmares

    I truelly understand what your going threw. Having been beaten and molested. Alot of times I question weather or not I'll get better. The one thing I can tell you for sure is giving up is a guarantee to being a miserable 85 year old. Keep working on your self. Even if as small as introducing...

    First step to finding my self again.

    It's kinda funny that you posted something about looking at the free stuff I actually just got back from picking up a free chair I found on craigs list. Figured I already know wood working so refinishing the wood will be snap and recovering it will just give me reason to further my knowledge...
