Day 7
Well, I made it to Day 7. I can't even remember the last time I have been able to make it this long...maybe a year ago when I was able to go 2 months? Yesterday was a bit difficult because I was feeling kind of low, but today is a new day and I am doing better. I feel like there is something different this time driving me to keep going. I am 100% invested in this when I don't think I really was before. Yesterday when I was tempted to go buy some wine and I had that demon whispering to me "what will a couple glasses hurt?" I shut it down immediately. It would have been so easy to stop and buy some wine and throw it all away, but I knew I would regret it the next day if I did. Then everything I went through last week would have been for nothing and I would likely end up back there again anyway and I don't want that. I finished going around in circles and never getting anywhere. I don't want my life to be based on my next drink. I want to LIVE life and not just go through it. So I found other tasks to occupy my time instead - I went for a walk, read a book, lifted weights, walked around the mall, went to karate. I kept thinking about how I felt this time last week and reminded myself I never have to go through that again as long as I keep choosing this path. So I fought my way past the temptations and I am so happy I did!
