Day two for me. I want to drink soooo bad... I want to go over to the local pub and sit and talk to my drinking buddies.

So I am left no choice.

Get on my treadmill and walk a few miles.

Let the pain of desire wash over me tonight.

See you on the other side after my workout!

Feel the feelings and let them go.

You can do this!

Did a half hour on the machine. Last relapse was hard on my body so baby steps.

Cravings past for the most part. Still have some time left on the clock for my really bad times. from 4 - 9

I realized as I was watching the clock on the machine count down the 30 minutes as it got close to the end I wanted to say "that's good enough". I did not though. I completed the time and cool down.

I do that with a lot of things.

sobriety for one. I relapse because I say that's good enough.

Thats not what sobriety is about. Thats not what I want to say about my life.

The times they are a'changin...

The pain will ease up. Proud of you for staying the course. You'll be so glad you didn't cave.

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Hey there, it's my day two as well. I'm going for a run as soon as the hubby gets home to watch the kids. It doesn't sound that appealing, but I know it will help. I'll be mentally cheering you on. I'm looking forward to day three!

Thanks everyone!!! I feel I needed a win. Day by day they will add up.

And Dee... Man you always say the right things. Thank you!

There was a lot of pain on this board today. I hope we all find our path.

See you all in the morning. Time to rest.
