I, I haven't had a drink since last Saturday. It's been going ok, got a new sponsor, doing things a bit different. Since I am not walking around preoccupied with fixing damage from the night before, or dealing with the mental torture of a hangover, I'm more clear headed and able to deal with what's in front of me. I'm able to stand on my own two feet and stand behind what I am thinking, needing or wanting. I'm not being a people pleaser to cover shame or guilt. I'm not agreeing just to agree. And it's not by choice. It's my type a personality. I'm trying be calm and quiet, but it's not working for me. Last night I left my house and sat by the river, watching all the people docking their boats and watercraft, appearing to be happy. Truth is, I have no idea what their struggles are. They don't know mine. I invested a lot of time and energy in keeping up my appearance to the outside world, and now I don't have to do that. And so I am a little off kilter because of it. One day at a time. One. Day. At. A. Time.

Ontherightpath- congratulations on 8 days. It does indeed sounds that you're on the right path, but time to time we reach forks, obstacles, and twists and bends that require some reflection and forethought to deal with before we can completely move forward.
I don't know anyone, sober or not, that does not need some consciousness I their,lives to maintain happiness full time. The only person who you need to be truly happy for is you.
