Five months today...

... and going strong

Today I had my interview to get on the counselling/psychotherapy degree.

I would never have been motivated enough to do this if I was drinking. My life is falling into place in so many good ways.

And I thought sobriety would be boring.

I really was clueless

Wow! Thank you everyone for the wonderful good wishes

My interview went very well and I think I have got in but will know in a few days.

I thought I would attach my first ever post here under this name 5 months ago to maybe give hope eo any newcomers that may be at that early stage when they are unsure (believe me I was.... I wanted to stay sober but didn't really know if I could do it and I have).

I got confirmation today that I have been accepted on the degree course. I am so overwhelmed I don't even know what to think!

Going back to college at 39 - and to do something I always wanted to do!!!

I thank God for my sobriety and long may it last
