Updating

Holy crap has it ever been a while.

I had intended to update this regularly but Dave started getting a little paranoid when I sat writing - the poor bastard thinks I'm going to meet someone online and run off again. That would never happen - I really learned from my mistakes.

So as I write this my life has changed dramatically. I note that one of my last posts was concerning a night at Steve and Michelle's and coincidentally, another night at Steve and Michelle's was the catalyst for me quitting drinking for the umpteenth time. This time Dave is also following suit, and we're achieving a lot. I'm proud of both of us. Bar one slight upset where we both had 'a drink' but not got drunk (again, that was really good for us) we haven't drunk since the beginning of January, and not touched alcohol since Jan 22nd. It's a month!

I've been trying to connect with myself spiritually. Trying to find 'Sarah'. She's been oddly vacant for a number of years and I am enjoying getting to know her.

I am working at a vet's clinic now and love that it gives me time to enjoy other activities in the morning as I start in the afternoon. I have time for myself...however, there's NO money in it! I've begun oil painting and have vague notions that if I get good enough I could sell animal portraits through the clinic - people spend huge on pets. I always thought I would be horribly crap at painting but oils are so forgiving - any mistakes you make you just paint right over until you get it right. Rather symbolic of how we should be living life in fact.
