If anyone should doubt my hope for the future let him gaze upon my fruit and weep! These are the tomatoes I planted the other day. I am thrilled to finally, after over a year, be in a place where I am comfortable enough to plant something that won’t be paying a benefit for 70 days. 70 days from now I’ll be over six months sober. I haven’t been six months sober in well over a year. I guess things are looking up.

Congratulations Chris. You could see the plant as a metaphor for your recovery. Stick around and watch it grow and blossom.
Congratulations. One day at a time. Be proud.
You say tomato, I say to-mah-to…
Beware of strangers bearing fruit. (tomatoes are a fruit) This is NOT to say that your tomato plant is a stranger. That’s not what I mean at all. But the fact remains—strangers bearing fruit are dubious at best. The BEST way to avoid this situation is to make friends with EVERYONE.
Are they heirlooms?

I know it’s a tacky analogy, but similar to your tomato plants, you’re your own garden. And it seems, you’re tending to it quite well Chris.
hey chris-
i am really relieved you are doing well. for some reason, you have become part of my daily prayer. and i actually enjoy that- so thank you. you wrote that you won’t be reaping a benefit from something you planted for 70 days or something like that. but i wonder if that is the truth. i wonder if you aren’t getting benefits from it already, only maybe you can’t measure it until qualify it until 70 days.
i’ll keep you in my prayers.
