What I did to stay sober today
Well here it is...shutting down day 59 and going into day 60. I should have went to a meeting tonight... but, having worked like 55 hours in 4 days... I really needed some down time...which is usually the time I would have drank. Which is EXACTLY what I wanted to do tonight. So, instead of drinking I logged on to SR... and read some of yall stories.
I also turned to one of my more recent guilty pleasures... the TV show called Intervention. Yes I have become addicted to hearing stories of recovery! Or being reminded just how easy it is to lose it all.
So, now I get to go into day #60 sober and clean... and I don't have to lose it all again because I wanted to down a whole bottle of wine... YAY me!

Yay, Saliena! A great post!
Just don't forget, if not today, if not tomorrow, give yourself some time. Spoil yourself. The money saved on alcohol can buy a lot of spa days and other such things.

I watch Intervention too (and Celebrity Rehab - yes, I admit it.....)!
Wanted a bottle of wine myself several times recently. I keep having to remind myself to just accept my feelings, even if they're not all happiness and roses.
It just dawned on me a few minutes ago that our feelings are not who we ARE - they come and go and they're things we experience, but we're much greater than what we're feeling at the time. TV does help, too!
Just wanted to say a big congratulations - You should feel really, really good about yourself for those 60 days!! :day6

It's actually a sculpture some artist in LA made. I forgot who tho, I would have to check the art gallery site I found it on.

I love Intervention. Great show. Is a good reminder of where I could end up if I stay active in my disease. CONGRATS ON YOUR 60 DAYS!!! You should be very proud. 60 days is a loooooooong time. Keep it going!!!!
