Day 59...
...and lovin' every minute of it. It gets easier and more enjoyable each day. The only thought I give to alcohol now is remembering to check in here after a few days. I guess it's good to remember the process I went through. Drinking doesn't make your life better, it takes life from you. I so enjoy the night--the natural winding down of the day. The natural drifting off to sleep. The slow morning wake ups without feeling like a beached whale. It really is amazing--once you completely...

I figured I'd check in to see how many days it's been. Time sure does fly. It's strange. I haven't been logging on lately but feel that I must say goodbye to the 60 day and under group. I don't want to be late to say goodbye. How strange is that? I guess life is just normal for me again. This time it's different. I am no longer practicing a habit of destruction. Sometimes I feel like something is missing. There sure is, a lot of heartache. I find it interesting that even heartache makes...

Almost a week goes by now before even thinking about posting to my blog. If 48 days ago someone told me "soon the day will come where you won't give drinking a moments thought", I would have told them they were crazy.

Once your routine has changed you just don't do it anymore. I guess I'll only know if the day ever comes where...

I'm starting to think about going back to work. I can make it another two months but then, finding a job during the holidays is a tough experience. I'm surfing the net to see what's going on. There is much need for help in oil production and repairs of current facilities. I feel the need to help. I'm not sure if I want to return to the Nuclear world. I think I've been dosed enough by radiation. At first glance, it appears that there are more jobs then people to do them. I've been unavailable...

Wow, day 40! It really is amazing how a routine can switch from destruction to empowerment. I'm now including exercise. Taking long walks. I carry my camera (on a tripod) and stop for photos and video. The attention toward capturing nature makes me more aware and calms me. I've gotten into the macro setting and find it amazing. Ants coexist with amazing grace. I saw a deer two days ago. I spooked it when I stepped on a dry leaf. I'll have to be more sure-footed to capture paranoid creatures....
