The Test

Yesterday officially marked 5 months of sobriety. So, it's only fitting I get tested. I had just come home from an AA meeting last night and noticed when I walked in that one of my light bulbs had burned out. I went searching for a replacement and had to get a stool to look on the top shelf of one of my cabinets. What did I find but a full can of beer! I just stood there, stunned and in disbelief for a while. Finally, I came to my senses and dumped it down the drain. Bad memories...but as my sponsor said, good decision. I hafta say I'm glad it was a can of beer, though, and not half a bottle of vodka. I might have felt a little more conflicted about that, but I feel pretty certain I would have dumped it, too, before I'd have a chance to change my mind. All's well that ends well.

I used to find those and give them to my renter. He enjoyed them more than I would.
