Yay, shiny new Weekender.
Friday here. Every day is Friday so this day as a drinking day is no different than any other. I was not a weekend-only drinker, not from the very beginning. Well, that's why I'm here.
In the early days of sobriety it's a real effort to break the habits. I made sure to get outside for a walk every day. I listened to calm instrumental Classical music on Pandora. I bought whole foods and prepared all my meals. Washed dishes.
Making new routines and keeping busy and not reacting to outside events were all important parts of my early sobriety. I read up on anxiety and how to deal with difficult people and anything else I could think of that I knew I needed to work on.
Days added up. I started feeling better. Not right away, but peace came.
In for a sober weekend.
