I want to enjoy every day, especially the holidays and I don't know what I am doing wrong but none of this feels right.

My brother is still in town and it's my parent's anniversary so I am lucky to have that to look forward to today. We might go to a movie (just us siblings) and then lunch all together. I should get my butt to the gym right now but that pumpkin pie I ate last night is weighing me down. I feel so tired!

Anyway, I am grateful to be sober - at least I have that much.
