It has been 300 days since my last drink.

What a difference this summer has been compared to my last 27 years of drunken summers.

In the past, my weekend schedule was:

Saturday get out of bed at 8 or 9, dry heave and gag, endure dread and panic and sit in my room in a dark depression in front of my computer all morning.

Sometime in the early afternoon I would go buy my daily liquor, then come home and start drinking. I would just hang around the house and get drunk.

Sunday, repeat.

Now this weekend:

Saturday - got up, had breakfast, went to church for the 8am mass. Went to an AA meeting at 12:30pm, went to another AA meeting at 3pm. Came home and spent the evening with my family.

Sunday (today) - got up, had breakfast, went to 10am mass I will be spending the afternoon with my family and this evening I am going to a going away party at an AA friend's house for a woman in the Fellowship that is moving out of town.

Life is good.

Well done, that's great! Just goes to show what changing your routine does to your mindset, and then ultimately your patterns of behaviour.

Enjoy your Sunday

Fantastic! Isn't it amazing how different our lives are now?

I loved getting in to the 100s of days

Keep going! I'll tell you from 545 (aka 18 mo today)- it keeps getting better.

Whilst I must admit using the second part of the title of Soko Morinaga's book 'Novice to Master - An Ongoing Lesson in the Extent of My Own Stupidity' perhaps reflects my own journey in recovery yours is excellent and I hope continues to be so...
