Long road of recovery

brentmercer9493

Hi, I'm newish to this but since I'd like to bolster my commitment to my health I'd figure I'd jump on here.

I'm two years into recovery and have finally gotten to a point where that this is where I can
my energy and efforts.

15 years I struggled tremendously and unless I was in jail or the hospital not a day went by that I could stay sober.

Anyways, not only am I sober but I quit smoking cigarettes. Unfortunately, I'd gained 80 pounds after getting sober. I blew up to almost 330 (July 27th is when I first took a look). I'm down to about 280 now but have quite a ways to go!

I figured I owed it to myself to add one more layer of accountability and bolster my
commitment, so here I am!





Awful picture but that is actually down about 40 pounds.

I still have a journey ahead!!!
