Off to bed in a few so I'm celebrating my 24hrs early and making a NEW 24hr promise.
First half of the day was hard. I think in part to the promise I made not to drink. As the day progressed, my comfort in my decision settled.
Couple lessons today:
- Eat when hungry. Might not feel up to it, but eat.
- Water rules.
- Chocolate helped mid day
- Every time I thought about how much this blew, I made the effort, when I could, to close my eyes and acknowledge what I'm feeling and how I put myself there. Just for a minute. Then opened my eyes and looked up and around. Took a deep breath and was thankful for the day.
- Post / Read helps but also keeps me centered in on my problem. What helps the most is seeing posts and responses from people who have made it.
Good night all.
Glad I'm going to bed sober. A day not drinking means a day with more energy and focus.
I AM IN CONTROL
