Ladybut, that is wonderful! You should be very proud of yourself

Good day for me as well. Day 23. Took my dog for an hour long (hot) walk, spent the day cleaning, and then took the girls and their friends to the mall. Not many thoughts of alcohol today, but when I did, I just told myself that it wasn't happening.

Life is getting simpler it seems in a way. I am getting things done, buying what I need, and it all just seems manageable. When I was drinking, I always felt so overwhelmed and like I couldn't handle it all. I always forgot things that I had to do or that we needed and just felt that life was so unfair that I had so much responsibility on my plate, how could one person do it all and do it right? Now I realize that it was the drinking in the evenings and then the fogginess the next day that created all that chaos. Things still get busy and I'm not perfect, but everything just seems to flow nicely now.

I hope everyone else is getting throught the weekend ok. Cravings are just feelings, we don't have to act on them
