Lots to Celebrate

J celebrated another few milestones last week.  Wednesday marked his 2 year sobriety anniversary and Friday was his 32 birthday.  I absolutely can not believe how far he has come in just 2 years and I am super super proud of him.  I am constantly amazed by his will power.  He just quit drinking cold turkey...same with smoking.  Hell, I just think about quitting diet coke, and I drink 2 cause they are on my mind.

BlairCo Services is doing awesome.  I know that all his hard work is starting to pay off...and we would not be where we are now, had he kept drinking.  I look back on a lot of my life and how things would have been completely different had he not made that choice 2 years ago.  For starters, I would  not be married to him and living in St. Charles. I doubt I'd have money in savings in the bank and I wouldn't know what it is like to have a part time child.

I know that is has not been easy and I am sure he still fights the urge to drink now and again, but I can honestly say that I do not worry about him going off drinking.  It has made my life traveling so much easier. I don't worry that he is passed out in a ditch on the side of the road., or worse even dead.  I go to bed each night knowing that he is where he says he is and that I won't come home to a broke husband hiding natty light cans from me.

J continues to inspire me.  I know that if I want to achieve something, I will.
