14 Days/2 Weeks
Remember only a few short weeks ago when I was posting here so ill and afraid?
Today marks two weeks sober. I just came in from digging out two feet of heavy snow, a feat that would have been unimaginable two weeks and one day ago!
And, for what it's worth, I've been in a house with alcohol for the last two days. The cravings are occasional, minimal, and manageable. Snow shoveling would normally be a drinking event, but I did it sober and am about to enjoy a virgin Irish coffee. (Which is really quite good -- you should try one! Top your coffee with whipped cream and a sprinkle of your favorite spice -- nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, etc.)

I was wondering how you were faring with the liquor cabinet, SIS.
It's pretty today, isn't it?
Sweetened coffee is even better after a good hard stint of shoveling.
Great job on two weeks!!!

It's too soon to declare victory, but I attribute the ease of these two weeks to reaching a point where I was s**t out of patience with booze and how it was wrecking my traffic-stopping bod, my Mensa-smart brain, my relationships, my career, and my life.
I got single-minded about it. Alcohol was the enemy and I adopted a Straight Outta Compton gangsta persona, committing myself to its destruction. I tapped into my anger, took an Army of One attitude, and set out with one purpose -- to kick its a**. I didn't care what it cost. It's a war, and I'm not interested in negotiating a cease-fire if you know what I mean.
That's where my head's been these last few weeks. If I stay this determined and single-minded, I think this is winnable.

I'm looking forward to picking my sheltie up from the sitter. I just hope she remembers who I am!
