Andy, my friend, that is most kind.
I kind of don't like to share struggles with the forums, because it doesn't serve me nor anyone else to just unload about things that I really need to sort out as an adult. Some of it is out of my control and some of it I've caused myself but regardless I have to figure it out on my own.
Not a big believer in whinging (LOVE that word - which, if I understand my UK-isms means, "complaining"
)
If I say it, I start to believe it. If I just keep plugging along, things will work out eventually. They always do, and I've had a couple medium-sized successes in the last few days.
I know, I'm mysterious.
Thanks everyone for the congrats. Love the Sydney 5 Years thing, Sao. My sobriety is precious to me and you all have been a big support.
