It's been the best 'night before' sleep out of them all and I've had no major breakdown. I guess the thought of bringing my instructor with me improved my mood immensely even though in the end I didn't go through with it since I would be carrying extra weight in the car.

After nearly 2 years of lessons, almost 200 hours of training, x amount of tests, I've finally got what I've been working for. I can definitely say my effort and continuous determination to fight has all been worth it and I believe you will get out of it what you put into it. I almost lost it again within the first 10 mins,. I noticed the hesitation kicking in and if I didn't do something about it, I would have lost it exactly the same way I did with the last. It worked and I was alert. An earlier test time than usual took away a lot of the traffic and I was rolling. It's been a good day and the shift from 2-9 to 2-8 worked well with my luck and superstition. A dull day changing to a bright day as I drove and shining on the wet road was piercing my eyes... I've always been too short for those sun blocking boards! ..But indeed after I turned left, the sun stopped following us.

I cry when I fail and I cry when I pass, but these are good tears, tears of relief but now I have no ID to get some alcohol...will a pass certificate do?? I also forgot to mention the embarrassing moment where I walked out of the mens toilets at the test centre..or what I call the prison camp. Obviously I was so alert...but I did knock before i went in!! :x

I just want to thank the people behind me giving me the constant support. I know that it's been a big whirl but I'm finally where I want to be... without the drink, without the fags and most importantly without the meds.
