I have not had a drink today. I requested two days sick leave and some annual leave from my work. The two days sick leave was granted and the annual leave not. I am not so happy about that but I will take that further if I need to take more off days. I was also upset today because a senior member of management copied other people in an e-mail response to me. The e-mail has details about my disorder and now people that are not supposed to be aware of this is. I mailed the manager and advised that I will not accept my disorder being discussed with other people without my permission. He did apologize. So my report for today was that it was a good day. I really would like a drink but I am not going to have one. Tomorrow I am going to try to see a doctor and I will take it from there. Take care and thank you for reading!Herman H Le Rouxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08776226363444507928noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177504407273049212.post-8671567987369174832011-09-27T22:18:00.001-07:002011-09-27T22:18:56.087-07:00The first dayWell, I am dressed and ready to go to work.

I suppose it has to do with insecurity and just wanting to be physically healthy. So, I am taking the USN challenge. It is a 12 week makeover challenge. I will be reporting on my progress with photos and other information..... Wish me luck!!Herman H Le Rouxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08776226363444507928noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9177504407273049212.post-18398638601473641142011-09-27T11:38:00.000-07:002011-09-27T11:38:10.364-07:00My first post.Well then, this is it. My first post. I have been pondering about this and I guess this is just a post. My first post. I have decided to start this blog for several reasons. As I progress I will tell you all about it. The long and the short of it is I would like to take you on my journey to life. I am a 39 year old bipolar that suffer from addiction. I am not currently taking medication for several reasons, which I will tell you about more in time. I wish to achieve a healthy happy life in one year and I hope that you, my gentle reader will enjoy the journey with me.
