Almost free

I am coming to the end of a long and exhausting separation.
It has been another hell like situation.
Without having all the tools I gathered to battle the booze and stay sober I would have been bullied and abused for the rest of my life by both girlfriend and my Beast.

So proud of my achievements and how I have grown with each obstacle negotiated.
I move in to my new home on the 31st jan
I will make my daughter another bed and decorate the room with rainbows, unicorns and a pink carpet.
Build myself a workshop etc.

The things to do in life are endless now I’m a sober Dad.


We can have it all or we can drink but not both.
Take care everyone

It's funny that daily I find myself tumbling into regretful, angry, self loathing etc. feelings and thoughts.

Then I have to remember all the Things I used previously to resurface and take flight on a positive path.

I am confident this is common to the world.

It is more then dopamine chasing in that i have to accept my place in the universal pecking order.

There is growth potential always, but frustrated or spastic flailing will only make me fail faster and with a tired mind and body.

That AA prayer is a big deal.

Thanks.

I'm so happy to read this, Snowy. I'm sorry for the painful time you've been through - but proud of you for getting free & reclaiming your life.
