Greetings ladies and gents. Its been several months since I last visited the ole RX. I quit gambling about 6 months or so ago, but was a very active member for a few years. Figured I would stop in and say hey to some of my pals and see how everyone is. I remember about 11 months ago I posted a thread stating I had 30 days clean and sober but was still actively gambling....I went back and re-read the thread and found it somewhat amusing, both by some of my posts and some of the thread participants.
My life has changed in the past year and I am proud to announce that I am starting back to school Sept 2nd after a 15 year layoff. I am getting into the radiology field after about 15 years of resteurant business. Getting sober from booze and clean from cocaine has been the hardest thing I have ever done and remains a one day at a time reprieve. i thought things in life would change a great deal, and to some degree they have, but life is what it is. The important thing is I have changed somewhat and at least I dont have drug and drunk problems.
Anyway, I am still chipping away and trying to grow as a spiritual person. Doing the next right thing has never really been a problem, but stringing a bunch of "the next right things" has been my weekness. I am happy to say I am a honest productive member of society these days. This site has always been good to me and is a part of my story so I figured I would revisit and let my friends here know I am doing well. As of Monday, August 18th I have been clean and sober for one year.
God Bless,
Mark
