How Far I Have Come
 
I was just finishing off a bit of Step Two work and I started thinking about how far I have come in the last 5 and a bit months. In May I was made bankrupt, homeless, left my job and broke up with fiance all over one weekend. I was completely obliterated. A few days later I was on a train up country to the Midlands.

3 months after that I came back. I had a place to live again, I found a job but most of all I found my sobriety. And you know the above isn't a war story. It's a reflection. It only took 5 months to regain some type of decency in my life again and it's all thanks to NA and my HP. So to all those out there thinking that you have hit the end of the road, you haven't. You're at a pitstop getting some sober tyres and an oil change. It gets better!!!!
