Sudz No More

For me, getting back on the wagon has always been easy but the ride to the top is bumpy along the way. Once I make to the top and start going down the easy side I always decide to jump off.

So I passed the first bump last night and held on. I am proud of that and feel ready to continue up. My worry though is when I get passed the early stuff I forget all the reasons why I need to stay quit in the first place.

Yesterday, I had the impulse smack me after about one hour of sitting at my computer relaxing. So I told my wife I was going to walk the dogs and she joined me. I felt better afterwards and made it through the night. I feel good right now with no thoughts of wanting to drink so I just to need to keep doing things that stop the mental obsession when it comes.

Another Sober day on the menu, all are welcome to join.

Yep- staying busy is important. There is always something to do- even if it's counting the ceiling tiles! Just don't drink!

Nevertheless

Yea,While the first few days are very tough. The times I usually failed were around the 2 week mark,or after. I would be thinking I had it whooped,and out of the blue before I knew what happened I lost it.
The last time I planned out my free time especially around 2 weeks to be very stress free.
All I can say is I learned from my mistakes,and I made a lot of them. I am still only one drink away from hell..... Just one.
