Another Hurdle Cleared
As of today, I am 83 days sober. And as of yesterday, I am under contract on a house. The stress of the obscenely competitive housing market in Colorado was taking a toll on me. I managed to deal with repeated disappointments in having offers (substantially over list price) rejected without resorting to the bottle. But, I discovered this morning that my whole body was bracing for impact for the last two months. Now that the house hunt has moved into the next phase, I am exhausted from the lack of he normal amount of excessive adrenaline that my body has been producing. And from clenching my body, now that my muscles are relaxed, my ribs feel like they have been stomped in. But, I have gotten to a place where I can rest for a day or two and regroup.
