Day 19
It was Anzac Day yesterday in Australia, a day most adults go to the pup or club to drink and play two up. I went to the dawn service but I never ventured to the club or pub. I stayed strong and sober. I am feeling really good today for my achievements and quite proud of myself i must say! Have a great day everyone

well we should not slack on our Program that has been working
doing a little extra can be like an insurance policy
insurance from what ? from taking that first drink
example
the Big Book talks about us working with newcomers
as a form of insurance against that first drink

Hope you are well.wish you well also on this beautiful sober day
I remember when I sobered up this last time
yes
it was a lot of hard work
I had put my mind and body through the wringer too many times
I was in a deep fog for many months
it seems that you are not in the same type of fog
I thank God for that for you
with some time sober I can guarantee you
staying sober becomes easier and easier
my Sponsor gave me an excellent tool to use this time around
I must not entertain the thought of drinking
unless I wish to drink
a man is what he thinkith
so
if I keep thinking about how a drink might not be a bad idea
over and over
I probably will end up drunk before I know it
when I was almost 3 years sober years back
I used to drive past a certain bar every day after work
I started looking at the bar as I drove past
and wondered what it would be like to have a drink
this went on for three or fours days
then on the third or fourth day as I was driving by
and entertaining the thought of drinking
at the last minute I pulled into the parking lot
before I knew it I was at the bar
with a very tall beer and a double margarita before me
I hardly had a thought as I drank them down fast
today I do not entertain the thought of drinking
