Cooked breakfast and actually washed dishes right after instead of waiting till all dishes needed washing.

Wrote about my problems to help myself think them through rather than just drinking to not think about them. Actually spent time sitting and facing/feeling my feelings and being with myself.

This morning, I ate breakfast and took my vitamins with it. I never would have done that when I was drinking. Lunch was the first meal of the day or maybe occasionally brunch and frequently my first drink came before that.

Committed to a home hunting date which gives me a deadline to get this house ready.

When I drank I didn't commit, plan, or set goals. I just day dreamed, drank and passed out.

I got a bad tooth ache, and I only used OTC meds for the pain. Normally I would have "made things better" with a drink, or several!

Still a dull pain, but I am SOBER!

Scrubbed the nasty rusty outdoor barbeque until it was nice. Weather is beautiful and BBQ season is coming. Since I was off today, I would have been in my bedroom drinking in the dark obsessing about suicide yet too cowardly to commit it.

Attempted to finish this god awful paper

EternalQ

Answered my emails. voicemails. Texts.

DG0409

Me too, funny enough. Well... I started making good progress on the backlog anyway. There are more for tomorrow. Plenty to keep me busy while I'm not drinking, I suppose.

Torso

Finally properly explored the computer I bought when drunk a week ago!!
(I'm on day 2)

EternalQ

Bought myself a new vacuum and am actually vacuuming!

pianowoman

I woke up happy to be alive. I savored my cup of coffee (without vodka!). Played piano without sloppy drunk fingers. Did yoga without losing my balance (mostly), the after effects of alcohol hinder my balance, even after 4 months sober.

Name 1 thing you did today.. that you would NOT have done when you drank 2


drive sober

LookingOut

I read from "Serenity" and posted on SR. Did some reading from SR about recovery and relapse.

I was up till like midnight last night doing chores and cleaning the house!

It's funny because drinking is supposed to be about staying up late and partying, or at least that's the image they want you to have, but at the end, I was passed-out by somewhere between 8-10 most nights.

EternalQ

Went out with a realtor to look at downsize options. Felt discouraged and scared as I remembered wherever you go, there you are. Realized I still have a lot of obstacles ahead and now some new ones I didn't even know about.
And didn't drink.

Yepp; just finished dishes :p lol

I forgave someone for doing something that was cruel to me.. immediately without holding a grudge.. (so far.. )

I cooked a big casserole last night so I will have good food for a few meals. Plan to continue to do this.
Before, I'd just grab some fast food/junk on my way home from my nightly trip to the liquor store. Eat mindlessly in front of the TV till I'd pass out.
Last night, I actually set the table and ate there. Haven't done that in years!
