day 3

Today is my 3rd day not drinking. Why am I stopping? Because I drink too often, and I often drink too much.

I'm glad you're here with us and committed to living sober. It's worth it.

Me four! I think we can all relate to drinking too much. ( those of us with alcohol issues) Congrats! You have come to the right place for support.

Thank you all for reaching out. I'm craving a drink because it's getting near sunset and that's my usual way to unwind at the end of the day. But I'm going to take a walk instead...

Hevyn: I love the Emerson quote, but first I have to make it all the way to tomorrow without a drink!

Slept well last night, so glad to wake up without the fog of a hangover, and to dream with some clarity. Only three days under my belt, but feeling...hopeful.

Any one day sober for an Alcoholic is
just cause to smile. To rejoice.
Because staying sober is not something
that is easy for any alcoholic to do by
themselves.

Listen, learn and absorb all you can by using
a program recovery to live and encorperate
in your every affairs. Keeping an openmind,
willingness and honesty to do whatever you
need to do to stay sober one day at a time.

3 days is an AWESOME accomplishment.

Thank you, guys. Now. I just need to make it through out family dinner (company is coming over and my wife says wine will be served), and the rest of the evening. Bottled water is my new best friend.
