Friday
Another seven days have passed. It seems the arrival of each Friday will be a milestone for me. Today is day 28. Long enough to be Sandra Bullock in "28 Days", or long enough for a flesh eating zombie's time to run out like in "28 Days Later" .
For me, each Friday will require recommitment to the task at hand, as Friday is the day the sauce always tasted best. And Fridays when the sauce tastes best were always followed by Saturday, when copious consumption became not only a mind driving compulsion, but worse over the last several years, what to me was a covert operation. Not too covert to others around me, as I've come to realize what felt like clever, stealthy actions, were ridiculously obvious when accompanied by slurred speech, repeated stories, bad memory, and a lurching gait. It's hard to fathom the many weekends I have ruined for those I love.
Anyhooo, I'm not drinking today, which should again make not drinking tomorrow an easier task.
Thanks to the people who utilize this site. As my brain activates itself a little more each day, I've come to feel that I have failed to express my gratitude the way I should have. Most times I find it difficult to post on others' threads, as I do not feel qualified at this point in my life to offer advice to anyone. I am VERY thankful to those of you that do.
Have a great and sober Friday, which leads to Saturday...you get the drift.

Musky, it is just like at an AA meeting... you share if you wish and just absorb if you are not able to share.... Sharing is not mandatory... responding to what others say is not mandatory... as time goes by you will be able to give more back... until then take care of yourself and keep coming back.
Peace, Levi (congrats on the 28, that's awesome)
