Settlement done.
I now own a house. I never though it would happen. I've lived by the side of the railway as a hobo with nothing except what I can carry. I've amassed relative fortunes and lost them all. This time around at my age I didn't think I could do this again. I guess part of it is I feel confident enough about my sobriety to take this on. I think I always felt I had to have a way out. My chronic anxiety is over. I don't crave booze. I get on with my kids. My health is good. 13 years ago I was trying to drink myself to death. It took a lot longer to bounce back and to start to make progress this time but it has happened. Drunk, none of this would have happened. Most likely I would have died an unpleasant death years ago. A burden. Penniless. A disgrace to my children.

Thank you so much for sharing this. It's awesome to hear that an individual can hit rock bottom and still eventually get back to a life that might even make the normies jealous. Congratulations!!

Grymt,
i hope its glorious .
Sometimes it's easy to write off or assume stuff about the future, with sobriety tucked under our arms who's to say where the journey will take us , a lot more likely somewhere good sober
