\nToday I have been without a single drop of alcohol for 30 days. \u00a0It’s been exactly 3 months (90 days) since I last had a smoke of Marijuana. \u00a0I have to say it feels great. \u00a0I’m still faced with my crazy self – speaking of which – is my current obstacle – the human condition of selfish, self-seeking, self-centered life. \u00a0I am humbled that this chance was given me. \u00a0I’m sure a few people had their chips stacked against me (as I’m sure they did from dot). \u00a0But today I’m not gambling with my life or those whom I love dearly.<\/p>\nI can walk again<\/h2>\n
