Frighteningly at peace with my new life. Normally I would have bought two 40's of liquor and a 4 litre box of red by now. Just to celebrate Christmas on my own. Sick really sick.

Instead, I'm walking the dog, working on some furniture, playing xbox, and gobbling goodies.

I'm avoiding my family like the plague as they trigger lots of abusive behaviour in me.

Lately I've been humming to myself, smiling, joking around...just enjoying life. A month ago I was a picture of misery.

32 Days sober. What a turn around. I don't think about drinking 24/7 anymore. It still happens, I still struggle. But the funk is out of my head. I don't feel fuzzy anymore in my thoughts. I have confidence.

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas. Thanks for all the support.

Realization is a great Christmas present to yourself!

Good for you! It sounds like you're serious about quiting, and that's what it takes.
Congratulations on thinking about your little girl. Maybe it's time to be a good father to her.
I wish you all the best.

Little Girl? I have no kids? You must have me confused with someone else.

It's all good though.

Thanks for the thanks all.

I went out and splurged on some more olives and brie. T-bone steak. Juices and novelty drinks for a bit of a sugar rush.

Life is good.

Way to go T! Enjoy your steak and soda...I've become a connosieur of strange sodas the more obscure the better....and mixed drinks (non-alcoholoc of course) I am enjoying the novelty of new tastes. Its funny I posted the other day how I had lost my appetite and just realized that I still had one for drink...just a different kind now...lol:-)

32 days rocks....the most amazing thing is that it gets even better!

Xo & merry Christmas!

Hi T. Way to go !!!!! The happiness back in our life's mae it a new kind of buzz that feels sooooo... much better. Today I am on day 25 and feeling happy. Actually I am feeling.!!!!!! Instead of drowning myself in a few bottles of wine when I am sad or bored or frustrated or happy or celebrating something or just thinking I like the taste. So keep on smiling!!!!!!Merry Christmas

It annoys me to think of all the great food I could have bought for the same or less than the booze I drank!!!!
