When the grass looks greener
on the other side of the fence,
it may be that they take better care
of it over there
.
Faith can move mountains,
but don't be surprised
if God hands you a shovel.


I'm moving on from
over 28 years of drinking...
taking what works,leaving what doesn't.

Watching tv tonite

Posted 07-13-2009 at 08:11 PM by bohemianzen (Living In Sobriety)

I just watched the new Intervention on A&E. It broke my heart. The one thing I love about that show is the end...when you see the addict healing with days sober under their belt. Well I was really waiting on the end of this one because the guy fought so hard against his family to not go and then ended up going.
SPOILER****
I sat here in shock as they just started running across the screen a bunch of sentences about him going thru the whole treatment and such and then said he was...

Making Sobriety A Priority

Posted 07-13-2009 at 06:22 AM by bohemianzen (Living In Sobriety)

From Sober For Good by Anne M Fletcher

"Do whatever it takes, if it's not illegal or immoral."
"Put sobriety first--change anything in your life that endangers it: relationships, jobs, hobbies, places, habits."
"I never bought into the AA powerless thing. I don't think I'm powerless. I had too many years of not taking charge of m life, and I don't want to lose that now. Becomeing sober felt like taking contorl--the more I saw the results of staying...

From Sober for Good by Anne M. Fletcher

Posted 07-11-2009 at 08:06 AM by bohemianzen (Living In Sobriety)

Some things I highlighted:
"it's about taking active steps to achieve a new plane of living, to build a life with no room for alcohol abuse"
"I then got busy creating my new life rather than waiting for my next relapse"
"When cravings would come, it was like there were two voices in my mind: one loud, aggressive voice that would lobby hard to break abstinence, and the other, more passive voice that would try to hang on the abstinence for all it was worth....

Pains

Posted 07-05-2009 at 05:58 PM by bohemianzen (Living In Sobriety)

I'm back again. After almost a month of binge drinking on the weekends (couple of 3 day ones too) I have to stop. I have to. Dammit. My good intentions are worthless.
I'm laying here on the couch--I'm just sore all over for some reason. I'm probably the only person on earth that can pull muscles by being a lazy butt laying on the couch all day. No, really I don't know what the deal is. I didn't do anything yesterday to strain myself (except for curls with my beer drinking hand unfortunately)...
