I was around a month or so ago...made it about 6 days. Pitiful effort, huh. Anyway...this would be day 1 for me. I get really irritated when I realize how many times I have said this.
I make excuses such as:
- "I actually have a pretty good life so whats the big deal".
- "What harm could a couple do"
- "If it relaxes me, what's the harm...better than being pissed off"
- "I only drink in the evenings"
Essentially, I realize that even though I have managed to stay out of jail, never lose a job, stay married for 12 years (so far), have 3 beautiful kids and be a pretty good mom, and live through some fairly stressfull times...the following is also true:
- when I drink I am less productive and tired the next day.
- I rarely quit until I go to sleep or run out.
- I have probably done damage to my health that I am not even yet aware of.
- I am trying to be a better athlete (running triathlons) and wth? pretty obvious how the booze don't help that.
- Need to lose about 15 pounds to run faster....duh
Anyway...welcome to day 1...again. Never made it past day 6. Besides when pregnant. Maybe this time I can.
