Name 1 thing you did today.. that you would NOT have done when you drank 2
Went to the library to do my studying. Helped alot!! never ever been to study, usually sit in front of the TV with a drink in hand.
Then I loaned some books out, Mindfulness for life, The Divided self by RD Laing and The Fix which is about all sorts of addiction.
Then I went for a run with the dog and cleaned.
Time for a gaming session methinks.

Went to a picnic to celebrate my mothers birthday and didn't have or even want any of the wine that was there. Instead of it being an obsession about if I should have some, how much to have, trying to control how much but thinking constantly about wanting more like in the past....Today I enjoyed my time with my mom, sister, nieces, and my sons with a hike, frisbee and fun conversations.
Paid bills, ran the dishwasher, walked the dog, vacuumed, boxed up books to sell, took a shower tonight instead of waiting till the morning ....pretty much everything I did qualifies.
Because except for going to work ...
I had pretty much become unable to function, before I quit.

I took a risk and talked to a man (friend of a friend) who is 18 years sober for an hour. And agreed to meet him bcause we have so much in common.
Even though a big part of me was so nervous that I didn't want to take the call or meet him.
I honestly wanted to say no I can't talk. Though I could... and wanted to.
But I can't say "No, go away," Because them are drinking words.
Because that road is the road to drinking.
And I don't walk on that street anymore.

Apologized to my husband this early in the morning. I would have been in bed and a major grouch had I drunk the night before. So, I was awake, and able to admit my wrong in a discussion we had on the phone earlier... this probably wouldn't have happened a few months ago.
I push myselfed really hard.
When I drank I never pushed myself.
I would give a faint try and then give up, tell myself it was too hard, and take a drink to reward myself for giving up.
Of course I can only see that now.
Which is another thing I can do that I couldn't do when i was drinking. I can see my own bull5hit more often now!!
