Hi Con, how have you been? I was thinking about you today, wondering how you were and how your wife's job was going?
I went the last 3 weeks drug and alcohol free. I almost quit smoking cigs too! I relapsed Monday night, bought a bunch of pills and took them in 2 days. Quitting again today. I'm pretty upset, but sitting around sulking about it wont do sh*t, so I just have to get my but back on track. This is the first time EVER that I went more then more then a few days sober so I am ecstatic about the 3 weeks. Hey, at least I know I can do it. Well I hope all is well on your side of the pond. All the best to you and your wife.

Hi Con, I wanted to wish you a happy 2009! How were the holidays for you and your wife? I hope all is well!
I'm doing ok, I already got a new job so I'm really excited about that. I thought I would be out if work for a while considering the economy and unemployment rate. I got pretty lucky! Well take care and again, happy 2009!
