This week marked 2 years of continuous sobriety for myself. A lot of things have changed for the better during this tumultuous time . My marriage is stronger, my faith is stronger, my finances are stronger, and my self esteem is gaining ground. I'm finally starting to walk around with my head held high again , and to look forward to life with a smile. For those of you who are on this walk, keep up the good work! It's worth the effort.
Where will my life be in two years? Stay tuned to find out!

  1. Congratulations! I've been along just over 3 years now, not for alcohol but for drugs. Its definitely been and uphill battle but its good to hear that people want to celebrate the time they've had outside of the monster as much as me! Keep it up!

  2. Thanks for the encouragement. It means a lot. Also way to go on 3 years of staying clean! I know what you mean, it is an uphill battle, but the good views in life are always at the top of the mountain. Keep climbing!

  3. Big congratulations from me too! I've actually just stumbled upon your blog but I find it quite inspiring. Luckily I've never had much trouble with alcohol (always knew to mostly stay away from it) but I have some other habits that I've been shaking. Great that you mention a better marriage as family is really the most important thing - so to me thats the biggest benefit of all.

  5. Congrats on the sobriety... alcohol is a drug and even though it's legal, over use of it can create major problems in a persons life and finances. Good for you for staying away from it.

  49. This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like Mixview that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what youre listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of neighbors will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune Social is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose. gerda spillman makeup
