Wow! giving up 2 bad habits in about the same time is great. Welcome & congrats on 2 days sober. I don't know if u've joined AA or not but if u haven't PLEASE do to keep the streak going. Just listen to what people share in meetings & make a decision if you've finally arrived "home" or not. I hope you have.

Thanks Pedro and 1newcreation!

1newcreation- unfortunately I travel a good deal so it's not really very easy for me to join an AA group- and if I did I'd never be around to show up to it, so I'll have to settle for online support, I think. I have read some of the AA literature though and it is helpful.

You can do it man!

DG0409 04-15-2013 05:56 AM

Today I am thankful for:
  • waking up in a beautiful place
  • birds chirping outside
  • a gorgeous morning in the country
  • trying new things
  • tonight will be 1 week no alcohol!!
  • I have lots of strengths to help get me through this: courage, intelligence, perseverance, commitment, determination, passion, a desire to live my life and really be a good person, a desire for progress.
  • I am not facing my problems by getting trashed. It sucks having problems still, but at least I'm not causing myself brain-damage over them now.

Opivotal 04-15-2013 08:35 AM

Wow, one week is terrific DG! Keep up the great work. Your posts always make me smile. I love your positivity. :hug:
