11 months sober yesterday.
Cane use about 25% of the time.
Working FT at a Christian Foundation (IT grunt)

Can I complain? Absolutely not.

Default <- One Year Sober

Well, I did it. I am one year sober today, going to hit a Celebrate Recovery meeting and have dinner at the local sushi joint...sans le saki.



Its been hard, real hard, but I can say that it really does get easier and its the best thing I have done in 39 years....if I can do it, you can do it.

I am walking without the cane almost everywhere, still have trouble with anything over a couple miles and stairs are still a little sketchy, but it sure beats the wheelchair.....

Best wishes for another year.

426 days sober.
Feel great.
Back to FT work.
Get my license back in 3 weeks.

Life is good.

Moral of the story? Stay off the booze if you cant handle it and life will improve.
