Time for one of my irregular updates.

Still sober and smoke free (26 months and counting), had a few more struggles with depression but it passed

Way to go Spen, was thinking of you the other day. You were a real inspiration to be me when I first got sober. Congrats on 3.5 years!

Congratulations on your sober time! I have found being sober makes it easier for me to deal with my ex; it is easier now for me to understand how he is and I can let it go for the most part. I hope your situation with your children works out.
