9 Months Today
I just realized that today is the 4th, my nine month 'birthday'. As I said in another thread recently, my life is polar opposite of what it was 9 months ago. My marriage was failing, my job was shaky, my financial situation was abysmal (still not good, bit I see that light). This was all because of or partly because of 'Mr. Booze'.
And things keep getting better as my brain, body and soul continue to heal from the damage. I've never felt closer to my wife and I can see her faith and love returning, my body is strong, and spirituality is coming back around. I feel like I'm waking up from a nightmare.
I look back and think of all of the crap I've gone through in the past months that I could have easily used as an excuse to drink. We came close to losing our house, major job stress, etc. but I stayed strong and I feel like if I made it through that, I can make it through anything.
I realize I must stay vigilant, stay the course and follow the plan. Thanks for listening.
