Not drinking. I'm waiting for my little one to wake up and give her breakfast. Have to meet a guy driving several hours to meet me to look at my boat. I'm trying to sell it. I need to go buy a new edger for my yard. Been putting it off for years. I may do that today. I also am going up to the plumbing store because I need to fix the line in my garage because it is leaking if I turn the water on. Two outside hose spigots that I did not use all last year cuz of the leaking line and I need to clean out that damn garage but its a rainy day kind of around here so the plumbing is the perfect job for the day. Right now just checking in with SR and watching the news, while my wife gets ready for work. Thanks for the reply and encouragement.

Well done on your 3rd Monday!
I'm on my 2nd Monday, I gave up on a Tuesday.
I've noticed a big difference in that every night, I make a dinner, I clean the dishes, make lunch, clean more and chill out. I see that my kitchen is clean and the opposite of what it used to be like- half eaten take aways, dishes piled up, fridge full of half attempted ideas of going healthy just rotting away, sink rammed full of dirty dishes that really would sit until I could face washing them all.
it just surprises me a bit because even when I was on a diet, I was never this motivated and in a way resented having to put in so much effort but now it's almost second nature because with my sobriety I've made it part of my routine and I'm really grateful for it.

Counting Mondays make sense if you consider it as the start of the working week. You are going to work clean and completely sober not with lingering effects of a heavy weekend drinking.
And Abraham congrats!

Keep up the excellent work Abraham!
