My very first sober date - 12/10/12
Has a nice ring to it huh? Sober date.
I have never had a sober date before.
I have had "god I hope that was the last time" dates.
I have had "holy crap I cannot remember what I did" dates.
I have had "I will never drink again....and then go to the bar a few hours later" dates.
And even a few "oh... Good morning. What's your name again?" dates.
But the reality is I NEVER had a sober date.

12/10/12
The tenth day of the twelfth month In the year of our lord two thousand and twelve.
Stake in the ground....cross my heart... The whole ball of wax.
Now.... I feel like life has more in store for me.
I need to keep putting into place the support system. Getting things right while the pink cloud is hovering. Making sure that what comes next is in fact the next right thing.
There is no ambiguity in my mind. I never had that. I feel a sense of purpose. Of intent..... I never had that.
What ever it is... I know there is more to do yet. And I am happy for that.
I had no idea I had given up until 12/10/12. I did. I had given up.
Not any more.
