Clock me in for another 24 please. 5:59am AEST. So glad to be sober as there is a lot of illness in my family at the moment and I am needed. If I were drinking there would be no way I would be able to cope or show responsibility. It does feel good to know that I am of real assistance and I am getting that positive feedback from my family. I don't think my Mum has long for this world. I want her to know and see that I am sober before she dies. It has been a fear of mine that this would not be the case. My Dad was an alcoholic.
