It's a sunny, blue sky 70 degrees here in the low country at 2:45pm. Lovin' it since moving from the north only a few years ago. Singing in for 24 more sober hours. Thanks Deek, Venuscat and all in SR for keeping me accountable. God give you the Wisdom...

In active addiction I became conditioned to instant gratification. Like the drugs I was taking, everything had to happen NOW or I became very irritable. Now In sober life, I develop patience so I can easily endure waiting for something I may need. It is progress not perfection, it is learning new behaviors to practice and that takes time, have patience with yourself.

12:56, The Nard, CA, another hot weather day.
For the next 24hrs I will not become a hot mess because I'm drinking or otherwise.

All Or Nothing Thinking


I fell into a some major negative thinking last night, even after I had this fantastic weekend
at My Son's graduation.

I got mad at my computer cuz I couldn't download some pictures, and then I asked my son
to help me via text messaging and he couldn't be bothered cuz he was out the night
before celebrating his graduation.

I wanted what I wanted right then and there and when it didn't happen I was mad!

I started taking on this attitude that the whole weekend was ruined cuz I couldn't
download these pictures and he wouldn't help me. It was pretty sad.

Thank Goodness he wasn't aware of my little fit. Another thing I have learned, not to react.

But I ignored all the positive events and focused on the negative event, my stupid computer..
Noticing the one thing that went wrong, rather than all the things that went right this weekend.

I call it all or nothing thinking. Looking at things in black-or-white , with no middle ground.

You ever have those kind of days? When you blow something out of proportion. And then
everything seems to su*k.

It was all about expectations once again. Sometimes I have tunnel vision. When I have my
mind set on something, if something gets in the way I have a difficult time adapting.

I had my little temper tantrum and then went to bed. I woke up realizing that if downloading
pictures is the worst problem I have right now, life is pretty good.


If I were still drinking and using, this whole thought process I went through would not have
happened and I would of just gotten drunk saying F U to my Son and to the world ruining
a wonderful Celebratory weekend then waking up with a hangover looking for someone to
blame.

So I guess I did something right.

That's why it is so important to not escape uncomfortable feelings, for this is how we grow up
by working through them.

It's our all or nothing thinking that can really get us into trouble. And it is really the little
things that we have to especially be on guard for.

Shew! A Lot of family tragedy was averted. I could have spoiled a wonderful weekend.

Thank God I came to my senses!

When I balance all the accounts, of all manner of drinking, over five decades, to ever have another drink, in any quantity, would be sheer madness..........

ODAAT for 24 more please!
