One step further in the right direction

So as many of you may have read, I dealt with some anxiety while on a business trip recently. It was hard, those couple days dealing with my last worst trigger the social drink, but the moments came and went.

I am now back and happy to report that something really has changed for the better within me. When I got back, all my new habits came back quickly and my thoughts of beer were gone. With each passing month that I go further into sobriety the stronger I feel about not drinking.

It may be absurd to say too soon but "normal" is starting to be not drinking. For years, all I knew was imbibing. Now, the daily quest for Beer has been replaced, I'm not really sure with what but at least I no longer obsess over it like I used to.

I expect I'll still have moments like my recent trip that will give me a "Thinking Problem" but with each day the idea of drinking gets more and more remote.

It is with relief that I sit here and think how far I've come and how I never want to go back to the daily grind of Alcoholism again.

To all of you out there still struggling, be strong, you are not alone.

I get the same feeling, and a big grin on my face, when I go past the drive thru where I used to get my wine. My mind says "hah! I don't need you any more!!" The feeling of freedom is overwhelming and wonderful.

That's great Sudz! It got to be the same with me after a while: sober felt "normal." What a concept!:day6
