Thank you all so much for your support - means the world to me and made me smile.
Letsgo: I do have a sponsor and she and I are in Step 3. I am workin' it! Developing a new relationship with my HP and am giving lots of thanks every day, as well as trying to let go of stuff.
Odd, Taylor: Congrats to you too! Way to go! Well actually this applies to everyone in recovery, eh?! But the early days are seriously hard. For me anyway.
Typical scene in my head as the sun starts to go down in the evening is like:
Thought: Hello, I am wine. I would be delicious right about now, as you sit out on your patio and toss the ball with your dogs. Plus I would soften those hard edges around your worries over things.
Me: Hello thought. You are an insane thought and I know what you're trying to do and guess what? I have a choice today. And I choose to tell you to P*SS OFF and let me enjoy my dogs in peace and wake up tomorrow feeling happy and proud.
Thought: Ouch. You're so irritable lately. May I offer you something chocolate, then?
Me: Now you're talkin!
