Surprsing Good News In Sobriety!
 

Well SR friends after nearly a decade of being revoked from driving I have been granted a permit. I have to install a breathalyzer machine & pay a lot of money. Also, does $20 still fill up a gas tank?:lmao I have been hitting 4 AA meetings a week & am doing better. Winter is usually a very depressing time for me (weather & sunlight) & I seem to be coping better than usual. I ride my bike 12-15 miles a day for exercise & get to meetings. Looking for a job & at this point willing to do anything. I'm ready to re-join society after years of being the textbook example alcoholic/addict. This year I have had the most sobriety in a long time. Thought I'd share something positive in my life. I'm not exactly happy with my life but I see myself exiting the hell of addiction.:a122:

I'm glad things are starting to move for you J41 :)

D

I'm glad you're moving forward with your life.

Justfor1, sober life might not always be peaches and cream but it beats the hell out of reliving that nightmare of a "groundhog day" over and over again. Don't know about you but my deck of cards was out of groundhog days, don't think I had that many "recoveries" left in me.

Great news! The bad news is, your $20.00 won't take you far. :)

It was 1.75 a gallon last time I drove. I am grateful to my higher power whom I call, my defense attorney, for helping me drive again. Now the next thing is obtaining a legit job and filing bankruptcy. I then will start to feel like a normal tax paying sober Joe Citizen. In 2011 I did not make any trips to the psych ward or jail and only one detox trip. Which, for me, is good progress. Of course, my 2012 goal is 365 days of sobriety. :)

That's awesome, you must feel great!

Congrats!! Also, congrats on the awesome attitude...that'll take you even farther than that car... :)

"...Also, does $20 still fill up a gas tank?..."

Well, yes, if that tank is on your Honda 50..................
