I got up early enough to clean the snow off my car.
So I wont be late for work. Thats an accomplishment. I hate snow. And the last thing I want to do when I wake up at 8am is clean snow in the freezing cold and before work.
Still glowing from my dads email.
Hopefully it will be a good day at work.
More when I get home.

Today my kids are coming to dinner. We haven't had dinner together yet this year so it will be great.We are having roast beef too, which is my favorite.

Today I was going through an old container and found a matchcover from my first date with my wife about 35 years ago. The restaurant is still in business so I am hoping she will say yes and go on a date there with me.

Ok..Now I am losing track of time...LOL

I lost the thread!!
I thought I posted this morning And it was yesterday. Boy..Oh ....Boy. Thats bad.

Anyway...Today..Got another whole day of work in.

Got 2 more bills out of the way. I am caught up on those. And wont be losing my one and only credit card.

I have $2 left out of my paycheck. But none of it went to drugs and thats all that matters.

Now this week will be a great time to try and quit smoking. Since I wont have any money for them anyway. HEHE..

Good progress, way to go!

I haven't seen my kids since Friday, I'm picking them up in 1/2 hour. Woohoo!
Made pizza dough yesterday so we can cook dinner together tonight.

What's good is that I'm really feeling a difference in my workouts. Since I stopped drinking, I have more energy in my workouts. I'm feeling stronger, healthier and just overall BETTER! I'm loving it!

Hi Chiy,

Today I repotted my house plants, got engrossed in Stephen Baxters, 'Evolution', shouted at Coolio on Big Brother and did all the washing up, including the stew pot, that's been glaring at me for a week.

Not quite a captain of industry but a marked improvement on last Monday
(It is day 8 after all)

Today I had a productive workday, afterward bought a delicious corned beef sandwich, and traded oogly eyes with the very pretty cashier. Came home to a purring cat. Right now I'm heating up a little milk with sugar and a dash of vanilla. Not sure how it's going to taste, but surely it'll be better than anything alcoholic!

I have a few things that are good today:

1. I am on Day 2 and feel great

2. I ironed my clothes for work last night and it feels great to be dressed to impress in shirt, tie, and slacks

3. With this inauguration today, hopefully racism is slowly but surely being eliminated form our society.

I can't think of anything better than that today, by God it really is a miracle, big things are happening.

It's great to wake up SOBER instead of reaching for that drink instead of coffee! I'm so thankful I got a sponsor and am actually calling her. We are getting together tonight and am hopeful for a new life by doing things differently !!!

Watching the inaugural address with those whom I work with, and feeling a common hope and promise for a better future, both in my universe, sober, and for all of us, here in this office and all of us everywhere.

I was very inspired by Prez Obama's speech. It occurs to me that an individual is like a country. And a country in trouble can be turned around, but it takes effort and work, it doesnt happen by sitting around and wishing for it to get better.
