Okay, I'm ready to shift the focus back to my recovery. Here's where I stand:
I am at a week since the last time I had a drink.
I realize now that when those thoughts creep in, I stop them in their tracks or urge surf, depending on the level of intensity. I also do the "play the tape through" because it truly does help.
I'm going to begin going to a woman's group within the next two weeks
I have counseling in less than a week
I keep posting
I have my support group getting stronger
A lot has happened this past week, it seems as if my sobriety hasn't been a focus. It actually has been more of a focus. In a way, the gift I have been given is the freedom to focus on myself and my recovery more. I'm not taking that for granted.
