This post has been contemplated for about a few weeks now. I've been sitting on this, but I can say the time has come for me to stop Steeming for an indefinite amount of time.
The journey started with my sobriety blog and I wanted to make a sobriety post for what will be my last post for quite possibly a long time.
A sobriety post has not been made for quite a while, but today is day DAY 126 of Sobriety.
As many know I have been dealing with quite a bit of fatigue. It did seem to get better for about a week, but it's come back with a vengeance. What use to be an hour nap has turned into four, sometimes five hours. By the time homeschooling is finished and just normal things around the house, I am literally spent for the day.
Years of drinking has finally caught up with my health. I am praying that with time and proper care that I will be better. It's going to be a journey for sure. I don't wish to disclose my health issues right now. I am hoping to get through this hump without even telling my parents because I don't want them to worry.
As for the projects... #OperationMosquito will continue behind the scenes. It's a project I believe deeply in and is a chance to help someone outside of my immediate vicinity.
The #hamburgersaintproject will end immediately. I will be withdrawing the funds and be donating them to Gold Star Mothers. For those who received a gift, you decide if you want to continue Paying It Forward.
Lastly, I will begin powering down immediately for health expenses.
I don't know how long I will not be posting. The energy is just not there to continue right now.
My wife and I have big plans for our future and I need to get myself well if those plans are to come to fruition because it will take quite a bit of physical labor.
Getting myself better for this future adventure with my family needs to be my number one priority right now.
I wish you all the best of luck in your Steemit Journey and with time, I hope to be back to Steeming on a regular basis
Congrats on 126 days, take good care of yourself.

Full power UV and of course I am concerned and will miss you.
If you can find me on twitter or Fedbook and check in, I would like that -- and @aunt-deb has my email address, she has permission to give it to you brother if she sees this.
Congrats on Day 126!!!!
I know what it is like to be drained and not wanting to be online either.
Please man, look into the health benefits and restorative health benefits of HIGH SPEED BLENDING!!!! Fruits and Veg, and other healthy stuff, honestly, I am dead serious.
Thanks for all you have done and all you are, you will be most sorely missed, in a big way --- I have sent people trying to find their way to your blog.
Me and my open tabs, will miss you buddy. Find me when or if you feel up to it.
Your friend Barry

@lexikon082 I'm sorry to hear this. I've also felt a little drained and lacked energy to head online for weeks..but it's nothing compared to what you're feeling, I'm sure.
You are a truly inspirational father figure and blogger. Your posts were such a delight to read and there is so much that the younger generation can learn from you. I mentioned to The Mann more than once that we should learn from your example as a dad :)
But you are right, your two children (two members of the younger generation) and your wife deserve your full priority.
I wish you a proper and complete recovery (I certainly hope and pray that your illness is not too serious), and added you on Facebook so that we can keep in touch somehow..
I hope to see you back in full strength again of course, but please do take all the time you need to recuperate. Big hugs to you and your precious family. Take care of one another!!

As always...you leave the most wonderful comments. I will be working super hard to get better. I know a little about what's going on but will be anxiously waiting for the results of a few tests over this next week. Then I will know how serious things truly are.
I will, of course, be focusing on the children's homeschooling and the family while working on my health. With some drastic life changes, I hope to be back better and stronger.
Thank you for kind words and positivity.

I decided to come looking for you and I found the good news and then the bad news. There is now an addiction recovery room on discord. I was hoping to be able to chat to you there. Congrats on the 126 day of sobriety. Just keep on going. I am saddened by the news of your health. I will be praying for you and yours. Just try to give an update once in a blue moon. Much love, your sister in Christ.

Congratulations on Day 126.
I've been struggling with fatigue this year too and I've heard a lot of others say the same. What's going on!
All the best for some rest and recuperation, and hope to see you back fully recovered. You're welcome to email me at the website on my profile as well, if you need a friendly ear or a word of encouragement at any time.
