ICanDoBetter

Day one in the books.. Though I find myself not giving a whole lot of credit for that because I wasn't home until almost bedtime ...And home is a trigger. But I realize I must acknowledge that I have arrived successfully at day two, and that is indeed progress.

Today my schedule is more of a typical weekday... And my resolve will be strong through the day... And around 2 or so I'll start thinking about how I'll have a drink when I get home. So...I'm going to get ready with a list of all the random to-do's that have piled up, with the intent of busying myself with those this evening.

I should add it always surprises me when I arrive at day two feeling hungover and tired ... I get it... But it's interesting.

Way to go!

I am a sober person. Nothing is as important as my sobriety. I will not drink today.

Just get though the next minute without a drink. And then the next. And then the next. Early on we need to just not look too far ahead and make sure we are in the present time. You can do this.

So... Another chaotic work day and mid afternoon the thoughts began. 5-8 is the hardest struggle on weekdays and the chaos... And I've grown to plan such that when I'm home I don't go anywhere so I can drink and don't need to worry I'll have to drive anywhere.

So... On the way home I stopped and picked up a diet caffeine soda for myself for later this evening as my "treat" ... And am sipping a cup of coffee and am going to try to meditate for a few minutes before starting the homework/dinner/dishes chaos.
