1 year and 4 days - check in

Hello all,
I have not been around in quite sometime. I just wanted to check in though. I got one year sober recently just wanted to share this. I was let go from my job last wednesday actually, didn't see that one coming and i was told it was new management re-structuring "at my expense" but, I did not drink over it and still feel pretty good in general. Things have got better i must say, as there is no alcoholic psychosis or regrets as of late. It was one day at a time and alot of meetings for me. I am on step 5 and am slacking in that dept. working on that shortly. I still have a legal situation pending over me since last November, as well. still, no drinking as it would have just been used against me as the ex was trying to stop visitation and get more child support from an isolated incident over a year ago when I sweared at my daughter. anyway, just want to say i still get tempted of course, but i try to play the tape over when the desire to drink arises and i do not want to feel that last drunk where I did not care if I lived or died. it was hell. life truly sucked. I guess I'm rambling..

Congratulations! Life throws a lot of stuff at us, but as we know drinking definitely doesn't improve anything that really matters! Great job on all that hard won sober time.
