On the road again.

Yesterday was a tough day. Exhausted, cranky, but I did okay (Note to self: don't think too much when I am really tired).

Excellent sleep last night (in a hotel, I usually toss & turn), no meetings until 1PM. Time to catch up on some loose ends, go to the exercise room, relax a bit. Started the day with reading and a prayer. Nice to get this little break in the middle of a hectic week.

Was thinking about my old life. Hotel room, bars everywhere, no work obligations in the morning...that would have been automatic - call a drinking buddy (or not), get hammered, maybe sober up in time for my afternoon meeting.

I love waking up sober. Really. No guilt, no sickness, no fear...just peace, gratitude. I also love that I was not even tempted to drink yesterday despite the exhaustion, stress - that's really something. Can't forget where I came from and take things for granted.

Thanks RZ, Lbad!

I got home last night just in time for my 12 step commitment group (2nd time through the steps for me ). I had told a couple of guys I wouldn't be able to make it (they told the group) and I got a really warm welcome when I rushed in ten minutes late . Friends! SR and AA! Something I did not have last December. Really fortunate and grateful.

Facilitated a strategic planning session today. Grateful for the courage to say what needed to be said and saying it in a kind way. That little prayer this morning might have had something to do with the courage .

Rusty Zipper

grateful for those pause sessions of brain to mouth...

Grateful for my sobriety and grateful that I continue to WANT to stay sober.

Grateful that I can get thru obstacles sober these days. Grateful that my bad moods don't last forever.

grateful to go find another hat to wear for the day...

I was pretty stressed out the past couple of weeks. Everything is starting to get back to normal. Right in the middle of this stressful time, I told my wife. "I'll get through this eventually...just gotta deal with things one at a time." It wasn't too long ago that my reaction to stress would have been "just a couple of drinks to take the edge off" or "I can't handle this, I deserve a break and I'm going out tonight."

least, give yourself a pat on the back. Living life of life's terms, facing our challenges, not drinking or even wanting to drink. Knowing that we can get through it, that a better day is ahead. That's really something. Maybe that's recovery right there!
