It's midnight here and I'm now on Day 60!

Mixed progress here. Physically I'm feeling great (apart from a short lived cold last week) but mentally I'm still up and down. I'm still very anxious in general and this has been a long standing problem. I'm seeing my mental health nurse tomorrow and will mention it.

I'm making progress work wise and got paid for the first time in a long while this week, having done some IT consultancy. Today I spoke to my landlady who has seen the worst of me over the years and she said how happy she was to see me looking so well.

I am however starting to fully realise what a mess I have made of things over the last 21 years of drinking. I should be settled with a career and family by now and instead I feel I'm starting all over again making new friends and exploring new opportunities with all the baggage, broken relationships and negative references to look back on. Still, this time last year I was going in to rehab in such a bad state that I could hardly walk or write...

So, one day at a time with gratitude. Thank you all for your support.

Forwards.
