It's been a good week.

Hi all. I'm a bit busy at the moment but I thought I'd give you a progress report.

 

Got my divorce finalised on Wednesday. No bitterness, anger or regrets. Just a gentle turning of the page, and excitement about what the next chapter of my life will be like.

Finished my civil construction course. That means I have 18 tickets in the basics of construction work (planning, safety, surveying, compacting, drainage etc etc) and 4 licences (backhoe, excavator, front-end loader, skid steer). I finally have some qualifications to do something that matters, and I'm looking forward to putting them into action.

And last but not least today marks 2 years since I had my last drink. It's been a great ride. I've learnt so many things about myself and life. I'm happy and calm, and I've learnt how to care again - for myself and others. Very little bothers me these days, and when something does I can let it go and let God take care of it. Life is good - very, very good. It's better than I ever thought it would be. That dark drunk hell I lived in seems so very far away these days, and with the help of the fellowship I'd like to keep it that way for another 24 hours.

Thanks to everyone here. I couldn't have done it without you. I always get something positive from this place, and the ESH you people give me makes me a better and happier person.

Thanks all. It's a nice, sunny - but not too hot - day here. It's nice to be able to enjoy it for what it is.
