Efforts & Progress beyond Survival
I came to seven cups as a broken man at the age of 61. That was three years ago I have worked hard to rebuild myself. At this moment I feel like I have succeeded and I give thanks to this program, which helped me stay hopeful because of the many members they showed me love and support.
I'm starting this thread to help me excel. I've been blessed to get beyond the struggles of getting out of bed everyday and trying just to function past the bare minimum of staying clean and staying fed.
I have some very big dreams and goals at a very late start in my life. This is my fight to achieve them.
BACK HISTORY - October 2021: Started 7 Cups Deeply depressed and struggled with daily existence.
CURRENT HISTORY - August 2024: Maintained my bills, Aquired equipment, Started business (Currently successful) Aquired friends and Regained some balance with some sence of direction.
EXPECTED LIFE OF THREAD - Until I pay off to two moderately small loans. BUT.... BUT..... BUT.... Within that primary objective are 100's of other ideas and goals to achieve laced with many nuances of intimidation and/or rewards.
THIS THREAD - Is to help me achieve those 100's of other ideas and goals while paying off my loans.
For the record, anyone is welcome share thier story too about thier Efforts & Progress beyond Survival.

@Tinywhisper11

Europe early, good morning.
the drinking helped keeping me motivated.... and it helped making me tired.
but i got started ..... finish in the morning.
@IsayUncle Good night! Time for a well deserved rest!
@IsayUncle It's true that you have a lot on your plate right now, so you'll probably want to put it off until you have the business going under its own power...or at least has a couple regular clients. Once you've achieved that, however, it would be good to cut down on the alky. I'm not going to preach about it here; you're a grown man so you already know what the consequences will be.
@IsayUncle goodnight uncle I love you ❤❤ sweet dreams angel 👼
@IsayUncle All done? Woohoo!
@mytwistedsoul
thx - 👍. Have a good evening! 😄
@IsayUncle Thanks! You too! 😀
I've been wallowing around in self pity all day for several reasons. The reasons all seem to be piling up around me but for the next 4 hours I'm going to **** *** get back to where I'm supposed to be for a good start tomorrow.
1 - 441pm clean office
Sounds like you had enough of the emotional muck for today & pulled yourself together, at least to fulfill your tasks. Good man. 👍🏼
I'm stuck between wanting to write down things and not wanting to sound like a crybaby but I am so tired of not being above the point of struggling.
Every minute is either depressive non action or working for results. There is no real rest or relaxation.
242pm clean kitchen categorize and file two more weeks of receipts.
I cannot believe how much I have backlslid in the past month.
I am so mad at myself. A worthless piece of loser crap!
&*%!!!#@$&*%!!$%****#!@!
WASH &*^%$!!*%# ing dishes!
This thread is SUPPOSED TO BE about getting beyound survival. I'm angry at myself beyound words!
@#$!%%&*^!@ LOSER! #@!$ ME!
Stupid to have to write down to be seen.
It's been a slow crash but honesty and total destruction is coursing out of my pores in streams of failures!
Get dressed..... like duh, ***!
@IsayUncle Maybe stop & take a few deep breaths?
Also, remember: you are not perfect & never will be. No one is. Any quest for self-improvement will not be without rough patches & sliding backwards here & there, because it ain't easy. If improving ourselves were that easy, everyone would do it.
