thanks for sharing all that, K - you've been through so much yet you've stayed sober through it all. I don't know what could be more inspiring than that. Congratulations on an incredible accomplishment!!

Part of my sentence for my 2nd dui is that I have this maching in machine in my room.
It's called a "MEMS 3000". It alarms at various times, I then blow into it and it tests my BAC and takes my picture. I'm two months in on having this thing for 6 months.
I'm not technically on house arrests, but of course this puts a lot of limitations on where I can go.
So yesterday, I get a call and this woman sternly says "you failed a test earlier today". I was shocked. She then says "I'm sending you another one to re-test you".
She sent it, I blew, and then I worried my arse off for a few hours. I didn't drink and haven't for over a year, but you hear about this stuff happening sometimes and I was full of fear for a bit.
...but then I called my sponsor, we talked about it, and I prayed and I felt a bit better.
It must have been a misunderstanding as my PO would have called if something was wrong, but I don't want to go back to jail and I'm very fearful of that.
Not much solution in this reply, but I needed to "talk" this out on SR too.
Thanks,
Kjell

Awesome job bro. Keep up the good work and stick with the program. We are both living proof that the program of alcoholics anonymous works if we work it. Today is day 367 for you and 366 for me. I don't intend on ever going back to the misery of drinking. It does no good for me and only takes away things from me, some of which I'll never get back again which over time I've learned to accept. I love the program with all my heart, its given me a second chance at life. Though at times like you said life still shows up, at least now I have an arsenal of tools to help me get through the tough times. One thibg that gets me through the painful times is the thought of knowing that now I can feel pain and sorrow and I don't have to run and hide from them. It's part of life and perfectly normal to feel those feelings, and I enjoy being able to get through them without hiding inside a bottle. Life is what we make it and without AA I wouldn't have a life to work with, just that old pitiful existence.
Viva AA and sobriety.

Good to see you made it out in one piece Kjell. I have always found your posts and demeanor to be quite realistic and refreshing.
i have had a few ups and downs since I first started posting, but if you can make it through all that stuff than we all can. Great to see ya!
