Yip, 3 months of sobriety has just passed me by and I am starting my fourth with renewed vigour and gusto. K and I went for a walk yesterday to Severndroog Castle (which is about 45 mins from my house and was featured on Griff Rhys Jones' Restoration thingy, yet I have never been there before in 5 years...).
Anyhow, the photo is moi in front of the folly and is a fair indicator of how much happier and healthier I am at this juncture than I was 3 months back. True, I have way more on my plate to worry about, but had the last 3 months been soaked by booze, who knows what would have happened. I made it and am embarking on a brand new chapter of my life this week.
In short, I've handed in my notice at work, with the proviso that I get a month's salary if I hop off next week. I've started touting my ass round the agencies with the hope of getting a permanent role as and when the right thing comes along and some temping in the meantime. I am taking August off to do home stuff and relax and contemplate my naval a bit and save money and start running in earnest again and, and...it will fly by but I am determined to use this month constructively and get some focus.
K is back to Southampton tomorrow but we have at least had 4 blissful days together so who am I to complain about getting my wee space back to myself again! Am sure I will be cussing the world again by Friday but for now, all's well in my world and I am ready for the challenges ahead.
