Well, I’m 15 days sober now and finally starting to feel like my old self again. I got myself into treatment (IOP) and have my first 3-hour meeting/class coming up. On top of that, I’ve been hitting AA almost every day.
Somehow, word is spreading about my handyman skills, and I’ve been getting hooked up with a lot of side jobs. I’ve also landed a full-time job and another one that calls me in on the weekends when they need help. Basically, I’m busy from the moment I wake up until my head hits the pillow — which doesn’t leave me any time to even think about drinking.
I wish this all would’ve started many months ago, but I know God has His plan, and right now, I’m just trusting the path He’s laid out. My next prayer is that this NCO gets lifted so I can finally see my fiancée again. And if I get a second wish, it’s that this messed-up court case gets dismissed.
