Getting there can be tough........

Today has been not unlike any other Monday, I guess. I've been struggling with with a lot of things lately. Just everyday things like getting to work are a thing I do not look forward to. In the last ten years I've never had to worry about how long it would take to ride a bike across town just to get to work. This whole ordeal will be a great strength builder (mentally and physically...LOL) when it's done. I know that I can make it through and I also know it's not gonna be easy. I pray everyday for the patience to go through this. Once I save the money to get a drivers license I know my life will change for the better. My drivers license will cost a substantial amount of money to get reinstated. Right now I'm workin for a very small paycheck and I'm working in a field I don't know all that much about. I feel so frustrated sometimes that I just wanna tell the whole world to go away. But I can't. I don't wanna go back to that reclusive lifestyle I lived for so long, and if I do I would end up drunk again before too long. (and that's just not an option) I feel like I'm being held back and can't get up.
Well, I guess life is just tough sometimes. Things will happen that are out of my control and I just have to accept them and move on. So I guess I'm finished whining for now.
I know GOD has my back in everything I do. He will see me trough this and when I come out I will look back and say, "Whew, I did it!" Then I will thank GOD for giving my license back to me.
I thank Him every day for keeping me sober another day. That was a nightmare in it'self. I'm thankful for my little trailor and all my newfound friends, for my new lease on life because things could definitely be alot worse.

Take it day by day, and lean on those around you. Don't be afraid to ask for help when you need it.

Hey Robbie,
I'm just an old retired hillbillie up here in Little Rock who happened on your very first post when you set up your blog. I have read every post the day you posted and checked it just about every day when you didn't post. I can only imagine what your struggles are like, but I have a great deal of admiration for you in your determination to overcime the damage Satan has caused in your life. I want to encourage you to hang in there and keep on keeping on. Prayer is the life line, and I know there are many people praying for. Include me in that number. Thanks for the post updating us on your progress, and God Bless. Doyce Hall
