Honestly?

PS) The worst was a shirt I saw the other day which read, "My favorite color is wine." Who would wear something like that!!

Usually the everyday stuff keeps me so busy, I don't have time to think about the big stuff but sometimes the enormity hits me. All those dangerous situations I put myself in.... alcohol could have killed me. It still wants to kill me. Sobriety has given me peace of mind and clarity of thought but more than that, sobriety has saved my life.... and the enormity of that has only just started to hit me. I will never regret my decision to stop drinking and I will never take this freedom for granted. So many people never get to experience it. That's enough pondering the big stuff for today.... my son left his power ranger toys outside before all the snow fell and we're about to embark on a rescue mission. The dog's getting involved and he doesn't have a clue what he's looking for. Thank goodness for the everyday stuff.... the everyday stuff cushions the blow when the enormity of the big stuff hits. Congratulations to everyone celebrating a milestone today. 24 more for me please xxx
I know what you mean about the enormity of it all and I still sometimes feel like it was all a dream- like that old person and those messed up things weren't even me. I am so happy to be on this path with you and I am so, so proud of YOU. You are amazing...

Here for another 24.
Hopeful, grateful, blessed.
My husband works this morning and afternoon and I am going to make the best of my time with the boys as opposed to the usual dreading/panic I go through. Sundays we usually do art in the morning and I am looking forward to that as well. If I can figure out how to post a picture I will share the Buddha I drew in class yesterday...

Wine culture..HA! A few months ago, on a lovely sunny picnic sort of a day- I was walking past the cafe/bistro attached to the state art gallery. A blackboard, instead of letting on about the menu read..' 5% art, 95% wine'.

Alcohol insomnia just makes trying to not drink so much worse. Well it's Sunday so guess I can just lay on the couch. My wife got home after I was in bed so we didn't talk much but she's fed up with me and I don't blame her, just hope she supports me and forgives me. I'm mad enough at myself and hate that I ended up sick again. In for 24 hours sober.
