I am not drinking today because I am borderline suicidal and that may well push me over the edge.

Also, it won't help anything.

because it's unhealthy for me and my whole family, it's selfish on my part, and I don't want to be a selfish person, and it makes me feel anxious, depressed and only working at half my potential, so I just don't want to do it because that's the healthy and responsible decision of the healthy person that I am.

Because I don't want to and I feel great! Even though I'm annoyed by some things, I don't have to use that as an excuse to drink today.

I will not be drinking today because
I wish not to go back to DUI class
I have already attended the 3 month, one year and the 18 month classes in the past
oh yes
I have had enough

I rode a motorized bicycle around town for a couple of years due to license suspension
I still take the motorized bicycle out occasionally just so as not to forget how it was

as they taught me in class -- driving is a privilege
not afforded to drunk drivers
I must admit -- for good reason

...suffering has set it meaning through my bones, liver, guts. I tire greatly of it so I quit. With no body, mind to drink. I am therefor free, detached, dissociated, removed from addiction.

Done with that sh1t thanks G*d-O-vich.

rekindle the relationship -- not today

I'm not drinking or buying the liquid devil today because
I'm leaving at 5 AM tomorrow morning to go fishing
I'm not up to running down the mountain at this moment so as to buy an 18 pack
I would need that with me in the morning to take with me fishing

never left home before without one

today I'm free of the liquid devil
and wish to never rekindle the relationship

. . . I have come to realize I don't need to anymore. 31 days sober and I feel more alive and in control than I have in years.

I didn't today because the MountainLady is due home from work soon

if I was drunk when she got home she would be hitting the road

do I stay sober only because of her

heck no

but, having her around is just one of the many benefits of being sober today
