Hi my name is Fernando B. Today I’m proud to say that I am 105 days sober I am so happy to be able to talk about it. After a long battle with my addiction I am happy to be back in the chair doing what I love. I started the comeback a little rocky because I had messed up so many things in life and I was always diligent to go to work and try my best during that time of destruction. But because I would go to work I also messed up a lot of peoples energy. I wish to say this to all the clients that saw me or experienced me during the bad times and didn’t bat an eye or give me grief. Instead gave me love support and kindness thank you. I really am so thankful for all the support. I am thankful that you all never gave up on me and I am thankful that no matter what I was included in your life in some way. I know I talked about the same thing with you all most of the time so thank you for being understanding. Thank you for showing me compassion. Being back in the chair gave me a lot of anxiety and it was overwhelming but I am now 3 months in the salon and today I am proud of myself and the things that I have done. I am happy with my work and I am not beating myself up for things. I am strong and I am being the best that I can be for myself and others. I might still be a little self centered sometimes because I like to talk a lot but I am happy with the progress I am making. Thank you all who have let me talk with you and have given me the ability to get back on my feet. I am specifically thankful to my partner who has been there through the tough times and has always lifted me up. I hope if you are dealing with anything today, that you get to remember that you are still here and you are a wonderful beautiful person inside and out. I want to say thank you to everyone in the rooms that saw me coming in and out, but always kept me included and some of you that even took the liberty to take me to meetings when I was high as a kite. Thank you for the unconditional love and understanding that I was able to receive from most of you. Thank you for showing me that life is beautiful and that I am worth it. Thank you for this new life and I hope that I keep becoming the best person I can be. I am not prefect neither striving for it. I am trying to be the a better me. Thank you for Loosid to the new way to connect and I have been ready a lot of your guy’s post and it inspires me. I hope you all have a wonderful day and I hope you enjoy the photo of my progress. Have a great day.
