Looking like a true survivor...

- I'm Still Standing - Elton John '83


Today is 2 years sober. It's so hard to believe. The time just seems to fly by. So much has happened in the time since my last drunk on June 21, 2006. I like to think that I have grown somewhat emotionally and spiritually. I still have periods of depression and self-loathing. I still get a bit 'squirrely' in my head. Let's face it, my mind is a bad neighborhood to visit, sorta like Compton at 2am. I am starting to get more responsible, although I still have a way to go yet. I am more able to deal with what life dishes out. I stayed sober when my grandmother died. I haven't thought about picking up a drink over losing my job. I'm going to apply for a higher up position, which will hopefully mean more money. I've been home alone and not thought of drinking. I made sure the animals were taken care of and to look after things around the house. Although, my room still looks like an F5 tornado hit it. Progress, not perfection. I need to gravitate towards positive people and away from those who will bring me down. I don't care for bullies, having been picked on while growing up. I just need to remember that the bullies have issues of their own and instead of going on the defensive, pray for them. Pray that God removes those glaring character defects, but only if it is His will. Ok, back to playing WoW. My night elf druid is halfway to lvl 66. TTFN. Peace.
