Still Here, Still Sober
The last couple weeks have been pretty eventful. I've moved into an apartment, handed over the keys to my house yesterday. Downsizing from a house to an apartment was pretty overwhelming! I threw away a lot of old stuff. Clearing away wreckage...
Many regrets, many blessings, much anxiety, much gratitude. A day at a time, through HP and the support of AA, friends in the fellowship, friends in my church, family -- and in fact, support from my wife! -- with a great deal of prayer, I have been blessed with a daily reprieve from my urge to drink.
Today is actually day 90 of sobriety for me. A humbling milestone. Thank you, God, for your mercy, grace and blessings!

Phil, it is SO nice to hear from you! You had me a bit worried. It's really nice to hear everything is going so well for you. I remember that same feeling when we moved into this house. we got rid of a lot of stuff too, and what stuff we kept was completly organized. I think that was one of the best parts of moving. Anyway I'm about ready to take off for the weekend, so glad you posted and gave us all such a great update.
Phil
I have been checking your blog daily, praying that you were ok.
I cannot tell you the sigh of relief that came from me when I came here and saw that YES you had posted, and YES you are ok.
Thank you God :) I am almost in tears (of joy) and I dont even know you. Your story had touched me and I am so proud of you.
Glad things are going better for you. THANK YOU GOD!!!
Ditto!!!!!
I was a bit worried too. I think that's normal for us as we see so many instances of relapse. When someone just disappears, it's pretty much the same old story. Glad you're back.
CONGRATS ON 90 DAYS!!!!!!
Congratulations on 90! God Bless.
So glad to hear youre OK Phil, I was worried too. A new start is often traumatic but I hope its the start of something good!
Congrats on your 90 days. You ROCK!!
The move was bound to be difficult and emotional, but it sounds like you made it through as we would all hope to, one day at a time.
Phil!
I just checked in to see if you had surfaced and you have and with wonderful news...
CONGRATULATIONS ON 90 DAYS SOBER! I'm SO pleased for you.
Moves are always difficult, even for the 'normal' folks. And for us alkies so used to chaos, it's weird we don't take too well to new surrounding sometimes....you'll get used to your new pad and I'm sure it will feel like home in time. Steady does it, old boy!
Geat to read your words again.
:)
*hug*
Goodness...I type like a dog sometimes....I'm sure you got the drift!
Man, you are amazing!!!
Moving with 90 days is a huge deal. And, to go from a house to an apartment means a lot of letting go....amazing.
Congrats on the first ninety days of your journey. Phil, I read your blog and your comments to mine. I want you to know that I truly admire your courage and abilities. You are doing great....
Your Fellow Trudger,
