What a wild ride!!!

So, here I am, two days after my world drove away, trying to get a grip and having a wonderful birthday by myself.  The excitement for my birthday was going to the dentist for fillings and cleaning.  No self-loathing just getting thru the deep sadness.  I quit listening to Country music 'cause every other song applied to me/her/us/them!  Back to good old Rock & Roll, Santana is wailing right now.  I am not rushing forward into anything, there is a lot to do here that will keep me occupied for some time, and I am not looking for a rebound anything, but it would be nice to have someone to talk to, face to face.  Another bit of good is tomorrow marks 500 DAYS since I quit!!!

Now have a little Doobie Bros," Old Black Water" cranked!

Its all good!!!

Happy Birthday and congrats on 500 days.Also congrats on your new found freedom. Im gunna share my fovorite saying with you.. here it is....
"Lifes a do-over."
Remember that, it will get you through change,
   You have lots of sobriety behind you now. You know what they say, Dont make any life changing events in your first year of sobreity. I think your ok in my book. Im sorry the family thing didnt work and you guys wernt able to enjoy your soberty togther as it gets even better. But its your life. you know what you want and what you dont want. You can now take you life down any road you choose and nobody can tell you different.  I remember when I first got divorced from my last wife. After all the heartache was over, I was having so much fun. And then, I met my current wife. I never thought i could happy again in my life when my first marrige crumbled. But it only got better, Kinda like when we are afraid to get clean and are afraid of whats on the other side and life without them.
    I so wish you the best in your new journey.May God pave your road with stones of happiness.
