Celebrating 24 sober hours here in TLC at 11:26 am. I am deeply touched by all the birthday wishes, which now corresponds to my D.O.S. Thank you and God's love to all here. If I could figure out sparklees, I would have put something here, so I will just use one of the drop down smiley faces. 
Life is good thanks to living ODAAT. 
I'm in for 24 more.

Thanks Everyone! That was hard for me to ask, but I am going cukoo cukoo. lol

Expectations
We addicts/alcoholics have been pretty good at justifying
our drinking and drugging in the past.
For me it was a way of protecting my addiction. Preventing
me from facing the truth.
I had a lot of excuses why my life was such a mess and here
were some I used in the past.
The real problem is other people, if they would only do what I
want. My hubby, my siblings, my parents, my children, my
co-workers etc.
My family stresses me out so I need to unwind with alcohol and
drugs.
I am stuck in a job I hate and have a boss who makes my
life miserable.
Those darn cats shedding all over, will it ever end.
Everyone is judging me and they don't understand.
My life is so boring without alcohol or drugs.
The lack of employment opportunities out there it is the real
problem.
People who do not drink or do drugs are weird and uptight.
This world is going to hell anyways so who cares.
The weather is to blame.
The real problem is that I don't feel like I am in love anymore.
Or I will never fall in love.
I was able to come up with plenty of justifications for my behavior.
If I didn't get honest with myself I never would have faced the
real source of my problem.
It was only by finally seeing through my denial that I was able
to really gain any insight into the reality of most of my problems.
Me, I was the problem. I am still the problem. It's my thinking
that is the problem. My to high expectations of life and people and
situations around me.
If I continue to have these high expectations I will always be left
with some dissappointment because they will not always be met.
Then in turn it will make me angry, then I will not like that feeling
and I will seek an escape the comfort I can get from a drink or a drug.
And I will continue to use those things above as an excuse to
continue on in my addictions.
If I stay clean and sober, I can work on these high expectations
and learn some acceptance in life.
But if I continue to drink or drug I will always be the problem.
And any problems that I think are problems will become
worse problems.
