Cross posting from Discord, reasoning is towards the end.

Just started my three weeks off from my serving job. Have 40% of the income I'm missing out on replaced with 6 days of painting.

I know I said I'd have my LLC and insurance by Friday, well I paid the $35 to reserve the name for 4 months. Postive i can still get my liability insure but my lawyer recommended not starting that officially until things are resolved in family court come mid July.

Just make sure you claim that income come tax time.

I'm one week completely sober as of tomorrow. Three weeks off the smoke. Not that I'm not a high functioning addict, I was just sick and tired of feeling sick and tired.

Goal's six months completely clean before I allow myself to enjoy the occasional whiskey, barrel aged stout or blunt.

Getting back into the gym after 6 weeks off, averaging 14hr/day with literally two days of no work between serving and painting.

The gym became a luxury, it's becoming a priority again.

Preping meals and eating at home again. Cutting from 192 at 6ft1 to 178ish.

Going to reread the 48 laws of power, one law a day to jump start my reading habits starting tonight.

Journaling daily for about two weeks, cold showers for a week. Basically restarting all of things I've enjoyed and found beneficial that I slowly let go of over the past two and the quarters years.

Have I progressed in that time? Yes but it was slow and painful with many steps backwards for little ground I've gained.

This is all in my journal. Mainly posting it here for accountability/speaking it into existence as I haven't really discussed my reignited resolve with anyone.

First person to see this and respond can pick my law to read for the day.

It feels good to start being me again.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
