Well I'm still sober which is a good thing. Asking God to give me the willingness to take action and get on with my life. Asking him to help me surrender. Went to the Gym this morning which tired me out a little. Which is a good thing keeps the thoughts at bay and more manageable with less stress.

	Still here (Preview) Well I'm still sober which is a good thing. Asking God to give me the willingness to take action and get on with my life. Asking him to help me surrender. Went to the Gym this morning which tired me out a little. Which is a good thing keeps the thoughts at bay and more manageable with less stress.	Enigma	11	795	Jun 24, 2014 by Stepchild
