Day 20!!!

Feeling great. The cravings/mental obsession has diminished immensly. I am finally getting used to not having a beer in my hand at all times. It really is getting easier to dismiss all thoughts of drinking once they pop in my head. I am much more prductive and suprisingly, it seems like there isn't enough time in the day to get everything accomplished. Spring cleaned my house top to bottom yesterday and visited my grandmother. Today I have to mow the lawn, go swimming and grocery shopping. Busy day! Better than wasting my day drunk not accomplishing a damn thing though. Thanks SR for all the support. It has really helped me get this far! Much love!

Congrats on the 20 and enjoy the day. Isn't it nice to be able to see the carpet of our rooms again?

Keep on taking better care of yourself.

That's fantastic, Dominica - made my day to read your post! Buy yourself some of those wonderfully expensive smoothies at the grocery store! Or just go for the ice cream.......
