july 28th, 2015. 33 days today and counting, funny thing is that I have not drank for this long since I was on my hiatus from society. The difference this time (from when I got out)? Knowing and admitting step 1 and wanting to quit, and not being ordered by the state to go to AA or similar program. I have way too much on the line now, they were always there before, but they were hiding behind the heineken curtain.
The rewards are numerous! improved marriage, improved relationship with my son, better sleep, no hangovers, better health (except for smoking, started smoking more), endless supply of ice cream
, in the process of getting my medical back so I can fly when I want to, jet training, job flying several models of jets that are covered by the type rating I will
eventually obtain (about 6 months to a year or so), and so on and so on....list is pretty long
