Credit
where credit is due
At New Year I was questioned about my year
without drinking, and because my blog had stopped mid term, had I actually
reach my goal.
Well, it gives me great pleasure to
announce, (and a little pride), that on 30th September 2014, and
after 365 days with out a drop of alcohol, my mission came to an end and I
celebrated with an evening of the finest cocktails.
So credit where credit is due! And last
night a friend asked me what I got out of the process? Here are a couple of
pointers.
If
you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans – (Mexican proverb)
When I started the process on October 1st
2013, I was clear about two things. By the time the experiment was complete, I
would have found the most rewarding, lucrative job on the planet and secondly
my psoriasis (that I have had for 20 years) would be totally clear.
You can tell that God is laughing! When I
finished the challenge last year, I found myself unemployed and my psoriasis
was the worst it has ever been.
That is the bad news.
The good news is the challenge gave me an
opportunity to consciously deal with my own shit, without the constant need to
find the nearest escape valve. And in doing so I learned the most valuable of lessons…..
If I
do what I have always done I am going to get what I have always got
Sobriety rocks!
