I think in many ways the last two years have some of the roughest for me, event wise, but my default plateau, my emotional water table, if I can call it that, is so much higher now than it was when I was drinking - who knew problem solving was a life skill? LOL

Am I still unmotivated, tetchy, immature, selfish, intolerant, judgemental, arrogant, not talking good enough care of myself.....etc etc?

Sometimes

I'm constantly finding little DIY Dee projects.

But I figure once I stop growing it's time to die...and I don't want to go there yet LOL

Basically life is good, if sometimes challenging - sure I sometimes think about a drink too - but it's an ephemeral thought not a compulsion and I'm eternally grateful for that.
