A few milestones today
1) I made it through a Friday and Saturday night without a drink.
2) Today marks one week sober.
3) This is the first weekend I've spent completely sober for as long as I can remember.
The best part? I really don't feel like I missed out on something by not being drunk.
Actually, I started a new hobby... "survival prepping". Call me a doom and gloomer, but I think the U.S. economy is heading down the toilet... So I did some shopping this weekend. I bought foods that have a long shelf life and an emergency first aid kit. Spent a good chunk of my weekend reading - what to buy, how to store things, etc.
It kept my mind off drinking, and it's better than spending money on booze!
