Hope4life/Cheryl....Glad to be sober today!

Looks like another beautiful day, waking up feeling much better this morning. Getting ready for my move in my new apartment :) and also having a good day breathing today. That helps out a lot. Making it a day to say

NO QUITTING TODAY....Keep moving in the right direction for the right reason.

Little Missy 08-20-2006 05:59 AM

Early on in my sobriety, I thought alcohol should be band. My husband may still think so. LOL Anyway, I learned that not everyone has a problem with it. Other people seem to be able to drink it as it was meant to be drank (what ever that is). I had to learn that I was different, that I don't drink like social drinkers. I wanted it all!! I was mad that other people could drink it and I couldn't. Heck, they didn't even really want it and I NEEDED it!!

Alcohol will always be around us. I had to accept that and the fact that I no longer drink. If I am in a fit spiritual condition, I can be around alcohol. If I am not at peace with myself, I stay the hell away from it!!

I was in a different (bigger) town the other day. I swear I found every beer joint in that town searching for a coffee shop!! I was a little irritated. Sad that we (alcoholics) don't have anywhere to go. But I just went to good ole Hardees and got me a cup of coffee.

It takes time to be able to accept our thoughts and feeling. How we ARE different then others. I can spot a beer can on the side of the road, when other people don't even notice it.

Hang in there, it does get better.


yES, I am hanging in there and today is 20 days of sobriety, I never thought I would make it this far and I am not quitting, and I get what you are saying about not banning alcohol, it is just almost everyplace you go around where I live there is alcohol, one time a week ago or so my family was gonna go out to eat and my husband suggested one place he thought did'nt have alcohol and then I told him they did so we went to Golden Corral instead which is a buffet style restaurant with no alcohol. I know some people can drink with no problems, but I know we can't and sometimes I get frustrated especially in the beginning cause I would ask myself :"Why Me?"- I am sure you know what I mean.

21 DAYS SOBER and not quitting and Little Missy I know what you mean about Chucky Cheese-I knew they had alcohol cause went to a few birthday parties for my kids several years ago, you would think a place geared towards kids wouldnt have alcohol-oh well guess I'll have to stay away from those places for awhile, that is places with alcohol
