thank you erry'one!!
It's been a busy, crazy few weeks so I haven't been able to be on here a lot. Have had several challenging moments in that time, lots of time at work-related dinners out, bar scenarios, friends and loved ones drinking around me, situations where I've felt the conflicted nature of the mind of the addict versus the mind of the recovering.....
but through it all I've managed to maintain strength and a focus on the things that are MOST important to me and the ways in which those important things align a lot more with sobriety than with drinking at any level.
More and more, I find it easier than ever to observe that even 'moderate' drinking is really somewhat silly in light of the things that really matter to me. Why on earth I'd ever even want to cloud my mind and body with a substance that is purpose-designed to alter my thinking and comes at a prices of both caloric and toxic cost to my physical being - it just seems a wholly illogical proposition.
This place has been there for me all along too, when I'm unable to get to AA and / or feeling strained in my focus on sobriety, I can always pop on here and get a little boost.
Thank you all
