Good morning, sober friends! How does it feel to wake up without a hangover? It feels great!

Day 3 for me, not expecting it to be a bed of roses but I'm keeping my attitude of gratitude on because I know it will help me so much. I'm really proud of my sobriety-buddies here and especially the ones who have had the courage to come back again. It is not easy to admit we have failed but I think we only really fail if we use that as an excuse to stop doing the work.

Back when I quit smoking, many years ago, I learned that some people have to work out what works for them, or even learn how to want it badly enough to do what it takes to make it happen, whatever that might be for them. I'm not saying that quitting drinking is exactly the same, but these things might apply to some degree as well. Something to think about.

Anyway, no pub trips for me tonight, no wine at lunch, no wine or vodka after work. I am doing this right this time.

Hoping for a great day for all of you.
