    Default Off Probation

    Hi SMARTIES

    Just letting everyone know I am now off of Probation. What with keeping very good records of meetings on a spreadsheet and keeping track of the Verifications and all. At the last meeting with the PO she has asked the Judge to Discharge the remaining 9 months of Probation. So as of 21 Aug 2014 on the piece of paper I got in the mail today am off of Probation. Now how to celebrate?

    Very well done Lynn
    What got me sober was trying to get sober. Often when I lapsed, picked up, drank, I FELT thoroughly beaten. I thought at that time "there is no hope for me" Yet, when I had recovered from that thought just a little, I thought "I'll have another go!" It was a few little sparks, rather than a flame, that got me here!
