You’re a good man Joe! We stay sober no matter what!:facepunch:. I lean into the sober community and my program of AA/NA/CA. We support each other in times of struggle and we celebrate each other’s successes.
I’m here if you want to talk or have any questions

You're a hard worker says a lot about your character, congratulations!

That's a lot on your plate right now, work hours like that plus everything going on at home would wear anyone down. I had to find something quick to get out of my head after work, even just stepping outside or calling someone before the thoughts take over, don’t let this pull you back to where you came from.
