Hi Undies

Yesterday I did something I haven't done in a long time, but used to do all the time - I took a long nap. Back when I drank I spent at least one, if not both, weekend days napping, out of necessity. I am not against napping by any means! Yesterday I was a bit tired, but was napping to avoid studying! I'm grateful I can understand my true motivation, and reset. I studied the rest of the night and today I avoided taking any horizontal study breaks.

I had a great day today. Thanks to sobriety, the little things mean a lot. Today my older son and his teammates gathered together to cheer on the younger one's team. It meant so much to him to have the older kids cheer them on!

Then I overheard one of my older son's friend's dads bet him a hot cocoa over my son's guess on the spread for tonight's football game. It was very sweet, and it means a lot to see my sons feel valued by the people they care about outside of the family. I have a better ability to appreciate the camaraderie.

Keep at it Undies!!
