Spartanman

I finally have seven consecutive days of sobriety again. I am excited to start the new year sober. I feel like my "plan" is starting to sink in and become my natural way. There is a lot of wreckage from this year to sift through, but it doesn't make me want to drink. I want to be sober. I hate the idea of being drunk. I hate that I spent years that way every single day. I still have so much inner turmoil; my job is also in jeopardy based on my incredibly sub-par performance this year, due entirely to daily benders interspersed with agonizing hangover/withdrawal, repeat, repeat ... But whatever happens, will happen. I accept whatever happens. Going to be sober and deal with it.

Wishing everyone a happy and sober day.

This quote is a great one about recovery in general:

" Never let the sadness of the past and the fear of the future ruin the happiness of your present." - Author Unknown

Seven days is fantastic. Live in the present, you will be able to handle whatever is ahead with a clear mind.

Keep up the great work Spartanman, 2017 is going to be a great one for you!

Delilah, I love the quote! That is something I will have to keep in the front of my mind.

I'm looking forward to having a better 2017 too, Spartaman! It's important that we stay committed to sobriety one day at a time. We will look back this time next year and be so glad that we did!! Keep up the good work.
