Class Of November 2013 Part 4
So I went to a party at work with a free bar this weekend. Wow what an eye opener. I went armed with my bottle of non alcoholic wine and probably had more fun than all the drunk people put together.
Best of all I was the only one fresh as a daisy the following day at work, watching all the people in my dept squirm with embarrassment at all the cringey things they had said and done. Priceless!!

Congrats on 11 months Gilmer!!
I'm coming up on a year and fighting depression and the "what is my life?" feeling. I'm just trying to take it one day at a time. It's hard! I get overwhelmed so easily. I just have to keep fighting it until it sticks!

Hey brooksie good to hear from you. I'm sorry to hear you are struggling at the moment. It will pass, these feelings don't last forever.
I'm kind of with you right now, feeling low and everyone at home seems to be battling each other and I feel right in the middle being pulled in all directions. I'm lost and feeling very alone.
But hey, at least we're not drunk right?

I've just moved house Gilmer, I think that's caused a lot of stress and upheaval. I couldn't get time off work so it was twice as hard.
I'm sure things will improve soon, everyone just seems to be at each other's throats! But I can see how I've grown as a sober person because drinking didn't even cross my mind!

Halloween coming which means that we have all hit 11 months sober. Wow. Who woulda thunk it.
As we march towards 12 months or 52 weeks or 365 days or 8760 hours since our last drink, it's time for a look back and reflect on how each of us got to this successful milestone. Maybe on our 12 month day, we could each write out our thoughts to share with others. The good thoughts, the not so good and the ones that kept us on this great train. For us drunks, one year is damn good. But it's not good enough. We have to stick to our plans, be forever diligent on recognizing the triggers and maintain our support group.
I so look forward to congratulating each of you. I definetly will celebrate your success with yet another club soda. Might even spring for a perrier instead of that cheap Walmart stuff.
Best to you all.

Yesterday was my one year anniversary. I actually forgot about it until I got into bed last night.
It feels good, a whole year. Sober living just feels normal now, and life is better.
I've got more money, my family life is better and I have peace in my life.
