Rigorous Honesty

I drank some wine last night. Really nothing more to say. I was by myself (my trigger), drank & hated every, single second of it. Thank God for that.

Refuse to beat myself up. If I do that the booze wins. Nope. Not this time. This time I celebrate the fact that I'm here sharing tonight.

I've poured out everything that was left (having wine left-over is a miracle in & of itself by the way) and I'm continuing with the work I've been doing up until last night. I've analyzed the whys and figured out where my plan needs to be shored up. I'm gonna tackle this thing and beat it into submission. I believe that with every, single part of my being.

Thank you all for being here. I gain strength & wisdom from each of you.

Well done and especially well done that you're not beating yourself up about it. You shouldn't xxx

"having wine left-over is a miracle in & of itself by the way". You kept a sense of humor too. I know whereof you speak on this. Way to go pouring it out!

Thank you all for the support. It's what keeps me coming back. People who understand me like no others and will not leave or judge me when I slip.

I should also mention that I'm in Dallas so I'm iced-in. No chance of going back out to get more. Thank you, Mother Nature!

You sound like you are in a good space about the experience, Life. And I also think it's very positive that you jumped right back here. Onward!
