Congrats to all those celebrating!

I'm going through a court case at the moment: it has lasted now for more than a year and began with me having to submit an affidavit describing my relationship with my parents right from childhood through to their deaths. Why? Because my narcissistic father decided to punish his children some more by giving the house left to him by my mother (because she failed to leave a Will) to an animal-testing medical-experimenting charity called The Garvan Institute. Now their lawyers are coming after us because they feel they need the money more (they sold the house for $1.6 million - $300,000 under the market value a year ago and the money is getting less buying power as time passes because of the runaway property prices in Sydney and Melbourne). The idea is for me and my brother to finally have some security in our own homes, even if it means buying away from where we are now living (me in Sydney, my brother in Melbourne) in order to afford it.
I and my brother had our education and life-paths destroyed by my father when he decided to 'throw' us out of house and home when we were teenagers for no better reason than that we were starting to grow up and were starting to question and resist his physical and psychological abuse. We both ended up homeless and subsequently addicted to various substances, the final one of which for me became alcohol.
The latest ploy for Dad's post-mortem lawyers is to try and prove that I and my brother were violent towards our parents, no evidence of which exists because it never happened. They have subpoenaed documents from police to do with a case more than ten years ago where I was falsely accused of punching someone, convicted of this false charge, then acquitted on appeal. My lawyers have launched a motion to block the subpoena based on its lack of relevance, with the fallback position that we get to review and respond to the documents first if they ARE allowed through.
I am trying to get back into my Uni work but this sort of agitation is very painful for me, and I have taken today off (and missed a lecture and probably the tutorial later today) because of it. I try not to let it affect me but it does, it hurts a lot, the grubby depths these lawyers will stoop to in order to keep the proceeds from the rushed sale of my mother's house.
I actually entertained the thought for a moment of drinking, but banished again immediately - NOTHING'S worth that, NO PAIN is worth throwing away my hard won sobriety, NO WAY will I fall for THAT one again!
So here's to another 24 hours of blessed sobriety (9:43am, Thursday 3rd of August, 2017).

Hello everyone! This goat is out of jail
It almost feels strange to say this, but spending this time in jail was quite good for me, for my personal growth, and for my recovery. I got to spend some quality time reading and thinking about life, the universe and everything, but mostly about who I am and who I want to be.
I am grateful for the experience... But also grateful to be out of there and back home
