DAY 1850 of SOBRIETY !!

8/26/2025

0 Comments

 

Did I ever think I would get here…July 20…2020 to today ?

An Excerpt from the first pages of my Journal….on July 20/20
“Slept until 10 a.m. and leaving for the airport at 11:30….I am anxious, nervous, ok, maybe scared to death, and on the verge of tears.  Roger is very quiet on the drive, but very supportive.  I was surprised that when we said our goodbyes at the airport, he was tearful and held me tight.”

" It is 11:30 p.m. as I add to my journal, and I haven’t slept a wink…I am afraid, I am crying, what if I can’t do this…”
​

My Excerpt today, August 26, 2025…
“Such a glorious day, full of joy.  I am home alone this week as Roger visits his family in Nova Scotia.  I am so grateful for our lives together and celebrate 1850 days with ZERO alcohol.  I was determined to make this work, but wasn’t naive to the fact it would be without struggles…. there were, but no relapses.  I am no longer afraid of life, I no longer find myself in self pity about the past, I am no longer depressed, I keep close to the positive side of life, and move away from the negative….however should any of these circumstances come about, I will open my toolbox which is full and get myself through…..thank you Universe!”
