Still Plugging Along!
Exactly six years & fourteen days sober! I've been busy scrambling to get a little garden planted & keep forgetting to post! We've had crazy weather in Utah. Record snowfall (a very good thing). Temperatures have been all over the place so I am getting the seeds in a little late.
Hope all is well with everyone.
Hang in there.
It seems like the drinking me was a different person. I could kick myself for how much time I wasted being drunk. Thats part of my journey I can't change, and I can never get that time back. It sure makes me appreciate my life so much more now. I wish I would have realized that sooner! I'm not a youngster & I don't want to waste whatever time I have left!!!!
Remember there is one sure way to quit drinking & that's to quit drinking!!!!!! If I can do it anybody can!!!!! Take care!

Labatty, I could have written that post. I remember the drunk me, but it's like remembering some other drunk. I often think along the lines of, "Who was that guy?" Yeah, we don't get a "do-over" on that part of our life, but we can sure appreciate the life we have now. Thanks for the update.

CONGRATULATIONS!
What an accomplishment. You should be so proud of yourself.
I try not to regret the "time wasted" as much, when I can help it. That "wasted" time suffering in withdrawals and addiction to alcohol forged the person I am today - a dad whose kids have only known sober... and who knows deeply the value of time and cherishes and protects every moment. Maybe that person wouldn't exist today were it not for those trials.
More importantly - what kind of garden are you growing? I'm super new to it, but it's such a great hobby.
