Sunday, September 7, 2008 | A General Update story

almost a year of sobriety, YAY!  Think me and the old man will go to the beach and get drunk to celebrate, haha, just kidding.   Our wedding anniversary was on the 2nd of Sept. We've been married for 3 years.  We were talking about all of the thins that we have been through since being married.  We've been through: 

unemployment

a child born with determinal illness

alcoholism

drug addiction

gambling addiction

infedelity

deaths in both of our families

jail time and

financial hardships

and those are the bad things. The good have overshone them, obviously, or we wouldn't have made it. David's gotten a wonderful job, I got my GED and am getting my associates degree, Lilli's CF is being well controlled, David and I quit drinking together and I quit the drugs. He quit gambling  and we'll have everything paid off that we owe by January. I don't know how we've survived, much less how we stayed together! But we did and we've never been happier.

 

UPDATED GOALS

Keep it together

351 days sober
