Ten Years Sober Today. I wrote about it last year, so I won’t dwell on it here, other than to say that if there was ever a time I could have fallen off the wagon, it would have been over the past three months. And I didn’t. I will reiterate this here: If anyone reading this suspects they might have a problem, email me any time. I’m serious.
And that’s all there is today. It’s a Friday night, I’m three issues behind on my New Yorker magazines, and I need to take out my contacts and get into my pajamas. I have a big day tomorrow: I’m getting my hair done and then looking at a couple of houses for a client, after which I plan to shop for groceries like it’s 1999. Or something.
Life isn’t half bad. And if it is half bad, then focus on the other half, dammit.

Happy tenth birthday! from one to another.
Congratulations!
You got that right! Happy 1oth anniversary, Mary. Ain’t life grand?

Congratulations on ten years of sobriety, I don’t remember reading that post last year or being aware that you were sober, I’m panicking now wondering if I ever made reference to alcohol in a comment, if I did it was in ignorance and I apologise.
There is another blogger currently getting sober, just 2 or 3 months, if you don’t mind I will send you her blog by email.

Yay, you!!!
I love how your cat is saying “dammit”.
I agree, life is grand. Dammit. 10 years – good work.
Flower is grinning.
I went back and read it. You are such an amazingly good writer. I wish everyone could read that.
Happy tenth…from a sistah who gets “all of that” I have really enjoyed reading your blog
Good for you Mary!
