Another day :-)

Yesterday was my first full day without one drop and last night's sleep was horrible! Insomnia, too hot, too cold, tossing and turning.. ughh. It's only in the last few months that I started experiencing this when I reached day two without drinking ... a clear indication that there's a problem

Well, I am going to try my darndest to keep a sense of humour about this. Nothing I can do about it now, except get through the next few days and get this out of my system. I'm really good at stopping already This time I'm going to work on the staying stopped! I never gave much thought to withdrawals. By day four I've felt good again, but craving desperately a drink. I've never allowed myself to fully get past the withdrawals. I feel better equipped now. I just downloaded the Big Book onto my iPod, and i'm planning on walking alot with it, when the urges get strong.

I am grateful for ....
this new day!
the shining sun
the love of children and puppies :-)
the opportunity to grow and learn

I wish you all a happy, hopeful, healthy new day!
