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 )

(((SomethingBetter))) - way to go on a great Saturday! The good thing is, you get to wake up tomorrow, no hangover or wondering "what did I do", and have another good day

Hugs and prayers,

Amy

Good for you. every days a day when you're sober. I think drunk i didn't have any days. I just stayed alive but not living. Don't drink, life takes care of itself and takes you along for the ride.

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.
