30 Months

Just past 30 months 3 days ago. Didn't even realize it until today. I stopped counting awhile ago. Every now and then I reflect back and add up the time in a general sort of way but...yeah... no counting really.

Still don't miss it a bit. I can genuinely say I don't really get many urges either... none at all really. When I do think about drinking all of the negative consequences from my past with it are quick to follow and I'm basically like...yeah, f that.

So yea. Life is good. Contemplating some big changes career wise in the future - though I've not settled on anything in particular. Doing a bit of work still on the soul. I have just less than a year before I'm off restricted license. At that point, being single with no kids and all, I'm thinking about taking like 4-6 months off, traveling across the country to cross off a few bucket list items... and then seeing kind of where I end up. Exciting, also some fear. Healthy I think.

Hope peeps are well here and during these crazy bizarro times.

Chop wood, carry water.

Sounds like you've got some exciting times coming up. I believe you're right in saying the 'fear' of seeing where you end up if you do work onn your bucket list is healthy fear.

Great positive stuff, Buck 👍👍👍

I’m 10 months behind. So many more things seem possible when alcohol isn’t getting in the way, don’t they? I’ve got a big big career change coming, nervous as hell, but even if that doesn’t work out, there’s other things I can do instead. You’ll have a great 6 months travelling, etc, with that positivity.

Buckley, I did what you said and had a GREAT TIME. It was one of the most memorable experiences for me. I took a road trip by myself and just went for 3 weeks. I highly reccommend.
