Closed on new house...
And what did two different people give me at closing? Two bottles of wine! Ugh!! Really? Is that the only gesture of celebration there is? Don't take me wrong. I gratefully declined saying I didn't drink. Gave it to the bank rep who worked hard on my behalf. All I could think was that there is no way I want to drink in my new house. I never want to be drunk there, never want to wake up hungover there. What a great goal to have. I will not taint this new home with the poison of alcohol!! I have plenty of memories of that that I'm leaving behind in my previous home. I'll have 2 years sober on April 1 and my life is SO much better in so many ways.
Thank you, SR, for always being there. I continue to check in each day. I'm grateful for all of you.

Congratulations on the purchase! I spent several hours today house-hunting. I hope to be able to say soon that I am ready to celebrate closing on a new place.
I'm so glad to hear your life is heaps better. I know I would never have been able to consider buying a place if I had not stopped drinking - I could barely get myself together, let alone start acting like a grown up.
Congratulations on almost 2 years too!
