Breaking the 200 mark!
200 DAYS!
Well, 203 days to be exact. I really didn't want to blow my own trumpet since I've been struggling with one issue over the last week or two but, dammit, I'm proud of myself and so I should be!
When I first found SR I had just driven a wedge between myself and my partner who ahad left me due to my problem. I had no car, was going nowhere professionally and still lived at home with my parents. I used any excuse to have a binge and in my horribly depressed state thay followed I felt sorry for my pathetic self. I was on the cusp of mental illness with panic attacks and a deep gloom clouding my head.
During the 200 days, my partner gave me another chance after seeing that I was serious about changing. She has been my rock at times and has sacrificed a lot to be with me. I now feel good enough to treat her the way she should be treated but will never forget what I put her through. I have myself a nice shiny new car and in the last couple of months my own place! All funded by the dosh I used to spend on drink. Thr most exciting revelation is that my boss has noted my increased enthusiasm and has offered me an interview for a promotion with a large wage increase.
It's true I've been in crisis lately when I was considering drinking but I'm getting through this by realising what I've gained. Today is a good day, my life is sorting itself out. I'm winning, alcohol is losing.
