 Day 366
Yesterday marked the one year anniversary of the day I had some friends drive me to the hospital to detox from chronic alcohol abuse. Never thought I'd see the day where I could even say I had been sober a month, much less a year. 
Sobriety has been a pretty fascinating experience for me - sounds bizarre, but for someone who has been drinking most days of the last 20 years, long stretches of days without hangovers are kind of a novel concept.
Been taking care of myself, working on the diet, exercise, sleep, and stress management. Being laid off from work has been a good thing, I'm looking forward to closing doors to my past and starting something new. There were stretches where I felt like I was just treading water - like I was "not drinking" rather than living life. Glad that job is over and I can move on.
Obv my game has improved since I quit drinking. I'm starting to admit to myself that there is actually some serious possibility of being able to do this for a living (not quite ready yet). I've got a lot of people to thank at FTR for helping me improve.
I've also got a lot of people at FTR to thank for their support. Being a part of this group and making friends has been important to me. The words of encouragement really help me keep my resolve to maintain while I'm walking this path. Thanks.
For those that might have missed it, or if you want to reread, he're my original thread. Its cool for me to reread from time to time to relive those emotions I was going through at the time - its been quite a ride.
