30 Days!

Yup, 30 days, there it is. I don't know what flipped the switch this time as I've had many many attempts the past two years. A major factor is I'm turning 60 next summer. Damn that sounds old. It's definitely a passage and I am determined to be as strong in mind and body as I can be heading into this next decade. I've realized alcohol really messes with my cognitive functions.

Another factor is not wanting to be drunk grandma. It's only since my children are grown that my off switch became erratic. I need to be trusted to care for my grandson and future grandchildren.

There will be many difficult moments and I really need to be on guard heading into the next holidays, but today I am thrilled to have made it to day 30. I've spent a lot of time here in the evenings when I would have been buzzed. I don't post a lot but I'm here.

Thank you all for being here.
