| Helloooooooooooo SR!
Mates, it's been one heck of a week - one thing after another, no surcease (just wanted to use that word soz) just black, awful reality.
No ISP, went to an internet cafe (I posted here) - got home, the cafe gave me 500 viruses on my USB stick. I got em w/ McAfee, but had to completely reformat my USB stick. I felt dirty, putting it in my computer, it was horrible.
Work has been good for the most part, except that everyone's going to a very posh tasting tonight w/ some really expensive wines, and of course my boss took me aside and said "you know, because you aren't drinking... but you can come if you want?" and I thought about it and said "No", but it still pissed me off.
New ISP took the last 48 hours, endless phonecalls to India or wherever the hell the company is, finally got it working just 30 mins ago and it's a bit shaky but it seems to be holding up. Last night the roof/gutters leaked and dripped dirty water all over my pillows and mattress, I had to rig up towels so I could sleep.
One of my best mates and former drinking buddies just split up with his missus because of his alcohol intake, and he moved out of his house this morning w/ nowhere to go, so he'll be staying on my floor for a week or two. I'm glad I can be here for him, but it's only a tiny one-bedroom flat.
I went to work early, and they said I didn't check the roster and I was four hours early (because of the stupid wine tasting), so I came home to get this internet happening and check on the emergency plumber (who did nothing).
After all that, I went to meeting last night and got a lot out of it, I'm starting to get to know people there and I always feel good when I leave. I am 65 Days sober, and still feeling great about my sobriety. I have almost got enough money to buy my guitar for my 90th Day.
I don't have a whole lot to complain about, just one thing after another that's been building up. I need to start cooking better food, and I am going to the gym tomorrow because I haven't been for about 4 or 5 days and I'm feeling lazy.
Gravity - glad to see you getting through all that, it must be hard - I'm sorry for your loss. TOW - wow! What a weekend, sounds like it's been raining misery where you are too... glad you're still here. trakin - that must be scary, hearing your mum like that talking to the kids. it puts us into perspective though, yeah? And Rob... a Mac? lol, no chance buddy... my PC's rocking along just nicely, thanks! Positive Man - you're ok mate, glad you're back here. Hope that you learned something about why you aren't drinking today. And SF69 - glad you're enjoying your sobriety, I have had moments of pure joy, bliss at being alive, that I attribute to being sober and happy with the world. I'll read some more when I get home tonight, sorry if I missed anyone on this pass...
here's to not struggling any more. Sorry for the whinge, I really needed to unload. thanks for taking it folks, you're all tops.
