Day 11 here

Well, onto day 11, and double digits!

I'm going to meet a friend for coffee who is coming through town, who has a lot in common...and when we got to talking, he also has 20 years of not drinking. We met due to totally different reasons, though he has been a huge help in talking about things, in a non-judgmental way.

Then, we may go hiking for a bit, and have a bite to eat...so this is my first day off where my eye has healed, and I'm out and about. Hope to have a fun day of not drinking.

Husky! Great on 11 days.

What you have found today is the best kind of support that I can get in my recovery....someone who doesn't drink yet I have other stuff in common with them...a friend in recovery is a real gift!

Have a great day!

I love it when I start talking to someone and realize that they are also sober!

Thanks, everyone! Had a good day, hiked for a few hours, just got in from a burger and the first few innings of watching an O's game (on TV). O's are leading the Yankees, 9-0. Was pretty fun to watch; I've started to watch baseball, of all things I would have never guessed I'd do. It's infectious, living in Baltimore, and I find it soothing, somehow. It's a good way to set aside my worries, and focus on something arbitrary. Not to mention, the O's Manny Machado is really cute.

Thanks! So far, so good. I just need to stay focused here, and not let my guard down. I'm not missing drinking nearly as much as I thought I would, even if I haven't done too much in the way of working on various projects I have in mind. At first, I think it's best to go slow, and take time to heal. But I feel a lot more energetic already. And the O's won, 11-3
