December 6, 2011 - 1st year anniversary

Well - here I am a full 1 year out of the program.  I actually had business in Seattle today so I'm typing this from the SSH computer.  The folks in the green bathrobes are filing past me into the conference room while I'm sitting here in my sport coat, tie, etc. following another day in the life...
All continues to go well and is only getting better.  Everything is getting better now that alcohol is not a crutch or considered an option.  I'm just loving life!  Now this may seem pretty weird but the truth is that life is great...this isn't to say that some days are better than others or that sometimes the craziness of it all seems overwhelming.  I've learned so much this past year and have comfort knowing that much of life is simply out of my control.  That is with one big exception...which is the previous enslavement to alcohol that I had experienced.  I am truely free from the chains of alcohol!
I will stay committed to this which in the long run will not only benefit me but will also benefit those around me.  Most importantly this will benefit my immediate family for whom I dedicate my life.

Over and out for now...

Good job. I loved reading the blog. I have a friend at work and he went to SS 20 years ago. He stopped and never looked back and is a great guy. How much does the treatment cost these days?
