Now that i'm not getting high. WTF is there to do?
So let me tuck this little nugget to bed right here and now. Just because you or someone in your life has decided to jump on the sober train, that does not mean its time to curl up and binge watch ourselves into oblivion. With summer coming up and restrictions going down here's a top 5 of things we can do to keep that motivation up and boredom away, because if there's one thing that is terrible for anyone in recovery its boredom. I have personally relapsed in my past over pure fucking boredom. Its like your sitting there watching TV for the ten millionth hour. Time starts going backwards. The Mickey on your watch looks like he's smoking a pipe, its only 2 o clock. Your mind starts wandering, thoughts start swirling. Bad thoughts, trouble filled thoughts. Nothing good can come from these thoughts. but then the voice starts. its just a whisper at first. Lets get high. it says. I actually laugh out loud. That's a joke i think to myself. "Why not"? whispers the voice. "It'll be fun". Seriously I think. "Sure. It's been awhile" whispers the faint faint voice. It has been awhile I think almost in unison. And then...fast forward five years. WTF I cant not live like this one more fucking minute.

10 reasons why failing at suicide gave me a new lease on life.
10. Waking up/Morning routine. Who would have thought something as common as waking up every day would be cause for celebrating? It is. One thing I have been working on is being more mindful of the present moment especially upon waking up every day. Before my feet have even touched the floor I lay in bed and quietly visualize my day. I play out any and all scenarios in my mind all of which conclude positively and in the best benefit of all included. I finish up with some positive self talk about some of the things I'm grateful for. Then after waking up, brushing my teeth and drinking a couple glasses of water. I find a quiet spot in or outside where I can sit close my eyes and for the next 15 minutes I just sit and focus on my breathing. No thoughts, no worries, nothing but my breathing and silence. Blissful. My day has begun.

From fentanyl addiction, prison, and eventually sleeping in parks to being clean and making millions.
I look at fentanyl addiction like I look at everything in my life ride it until the wheels fly off or the door flies in whichever comes first. I'm Nick Farina ex fentanyl junkie, ex federal convict, ex-"street pharmacist" and now I'm just a part time dad in recovery who's looking to make a mark. I realize all the shitty things I did while I was using to not only my friends and family but to any shmuck unlucky enough to cross my path if I needed something they had.
