anachronism

I was sitting in my dingy apartment, wondering how I had gotten so far into a hole. I was in a relationship that meant nothing to either side. It was simply existant. I was at a job that held no future for me. My mind was the worst mess I had ever known. I wasnt doing so well, apparently.

Then I decided to become sober. I took everything I had and destroyed it, completely. I ended the barely existant relationship I had and I moved. I moved 3000+ miles away. To the other side of the US. I spent 8 months there. I will admit, it wasnt the best 8 months, but it was worth it.

On April 29, 2005... I stepped foot back in California. I had bee sober for 8 months and I was ready to start fresh. I got a (much) better job then what I had before. And I found someone who understood what I was going thru, not by experience, but by understanding ME. I then got my own apartment. No nasty relationship mucking it up.

And today, on July 19, 2006; I can officially say... 2 YEARS! I have to admit, its one of the best feelings I have ever felt. And I know it will keep feeling this good if not better because Im putting more and more time between me and the nasty times in the past.

You will get there. Have Faith; Faith in yourself. It is the most important thing. If you dont, you will struggle. Know that you CAN do it and it WILL happen. I have Faith in you too.
