It's been over two years. I'd love to say that I've been sober since my last post. I may or may not have been...and by "may or may not", I mean I haven't. But the upshot is I'm on an 89 day streak. It's been a rough road with some dark times...divorce, etc. My drinking was not the cause of my divorce, at least not directly, but it certainly didn't help. I'm still wading through this sh!tstorm, and one of the many things that I've learned is that life is much easier to deal with when you have a clear head.
I need to start blogging on a regular basis again. It's therapeutic. Things are going to get better. They already have, and at some point I'm going to want to look back and admire how far I've come.
This is about so much more than sobriety....It's about growing up, taking responsibility for your own happiness, setting a positive example for your kids, and many other things. I thought about starting a new blog, but this one is already here so I figured why not pick up where I left off?
I'm going to cut this short....my son is sitting next to me slurping on a candy cane. He has his headphones on and he has no idea just how annoyingly loud his slurping is....Admittedly, I'm overly sensitive to noise, but OMG!
