New Saturday
What a day! Just thought I’d post before bed, I haven’t read much here today, in fact I have been working a lot lately, today I was going to do a few chores around the house, I got started and I haven’t stopped all day, Just realized I had a good productive day without any bad feelings at all, a well spent Saturday.
I remember when I needed a beer before I could get started on a day like today, and by now I’d be half cooked, sobriety really pays off in the long run. Now instead of going to bed at 2 or 3 AM I am getting up around 5 AM, and now its 10 PM, I am off to bed, I remember when I was just getting good and started about this time (a good start on ruining the following day).
Good Night SR! (I might hang in here a little while though )

The good feelings we get when we have days like you had are worth their weight in gold. You deserve the good karma.....and you did it for yourself. Thanks for a post that is perfect to end my day with. You are a success story, and I love that.

Thanks everyone,
Well, it’s Sunday, I sit here with my coffee in hand and the peace and quiet of the morning, not even my dogs are moving much yet.
I don’t talk much about my dogs but I have 2 pretty cool dogs, a female Chihuahua and a female Yellow Lab, there both about 8 years old. Improving their quality of life is a top priority these days, it’s hard to think back at how much I have neglected them.
The walks and feeding time I am a part of now and it’s so great to make sure there taken care of properly instead of being the selfish person I was for so many years, I still have a long ways to go but things are definitely getting better.
I choose my screen name one drunken night; I was no different than anyone here that comes looking in a moment of desperation, ending up drunk again knowing I did not want to live that way, I wanted Something Better, a better life.
I was a lifelong drinker that kept promising to quit only to be drinking again that night or soon after (‘and there I was again, Drunk…’), those days are over, I pray for every person seeking sobriety to know this peace.
