1492 days sober.

Well, it has come to the point where I don't even bother with the numbers anymore, except when to post on the 2nd of the month, right here.

I am dealing with a woman right now who had over a year sobriety, but felt that her "Higher Power" had removed her addiction. So, she had just one beer.

Now, she is back living on the streets, lying, stealing and slandering those who helped her back up the last time. It is our fault she relapsed of course. We in recovery know that when you relapse you fall harder and farther than the last time.

I don't know how many more falls she can take before death.

But, on a good note, I am now employed FT as an Employment Specialist working with ex-offenders.

See, sobriety pays off!
