My cell phone crapped out on me today and I had to drive across town and get it replaced. In "the old daze" I'd been rightly paranoid about driving after drinking (I usually ran errands first thing in the morning) and about that nice hint of vodka breath. To not have those worries just made it an ok thing to do. When I visit my mom next time I won't be hauling 3 liters of vodka in my suitcase, paying $25.00 for checked baggage and making excuses every 20 minutes to slip off into the guest room. There's the big picture of recovery and physical, mental, emotional recovery and there's the little everyday things that remind me life is so much less complex and complicated and livable just through not picking up. Oh, and not having to do my daily check to see if my stash will see me through. Its all good.

Wow, I'm a Vodka drinker toooo. I've been sober since saturday....that day was horrible.
I relate so much to the sneeking around just to get a sip....I'm trying once again. I've been at this for five years and on this web site for two...I hope to stay on this site for a while maybe this will help..Alcohol has really taken a beaten on me.......tears.................thanks for this post.

Supercrew..this ice cream thing is something that crept in when I quit drinking..I have PRAISED Ben and Jerrys Karamel Sutra but I have discovered something that just blew me out of the water..it is Schwanns vanilla w/ caramel swirl ice cream bar covered in rich CRISP when you bite it chocolate. I just drooled.

I switched addictions..

Cool it. Not only am I sober but I'm on a diet as well.

Karamel Sutra... what marketing geniuses

MycoolFitz

Or Cherry Garcia--you can get your Buddha and rock too.

How'd my post end up as an ice cream thread--What I love about SR and the people on it.

Soberpotamus

Omg... Cherry Garcia is wonderful!!

MyCoolFitz... one of your threads turned into a cat thread, LOL. Your posts do evolve rather interestingly

MycoolFitz

Scarey, its how my mind operates too.

For the person on the diet, "Skinny Cow" makes some good low cal substitutes. Kind of pricey, but yummy without all the guilt.

Soberpotamus

Skinny Cow's and Skinny Latte's... again, more marketing geniuses. Why am I seeing dollar signs lately??

Supercrew

I'm always trying to eat healthy....that's why I'm sneaking.

Interesting how we notice the little things when we are sober too. That's a great feeling.
