Had my first proper meal in three days, Scottish mackerel on toast. It was nice.
I have a list of about five small things I want/need to do before I go to bed tonight.

Healthy food; plenty of water; fresh air; rest, rest, rest; light exercise. You are healing, friend - your body will tell you what you need - listen to those subtle messages.

I was thinking yesterday of what and who I really want to be like sober. You read so many things on the net about recreating yourself. I don't like who I have been drinking, but I can remember being a halfway decent little kid. I can even remember the moment I started changing in junior high to try and fit in. A couple of years later, I started drinking. My thoughts now are centered not on recreating, but on rebuilding. I don't want to make myself into another person. I want to take the base I was given (my real personality and gifts from God) and start adding - like I should/could have been all those years I was drinking. So it's really me that I will be living with in my sober days.
One of the things I always did and loved back then was reading. So that's my step one of getting back my mojo!
Step number two is to consistently journal. I have been working on a getting a bullet journal ready for 2017 the past few weeks. Today will be the first daily entry!
Does anyone else have new rituals/routines for 2017? Or any deep thinking they have done about how they are going to approach the new year?
Best wishes and
to you all! ♥§§
