New thinking
Last night my neighbor came over beer in hand. We chatted a bit about household stuff and such, I am a wino so I didn't care so much to see the beer. It was suggested that we all hit a football game soon, I started to panic a bit because I immediatly thought about tailgating and drinking, but then my thoughts switched to the fact that I was most definetly going to be a designated driver for this event, this all goes with my intention to keep the people in my life who wanna remain there. They don't know I am not drinking but I got a plan on what to say...so it's all good! I am still not sure about much of anything anymore, except that one foot goes in front of the other and I need to keep moving forward.....sober and find some fun in things I normally would have done drunk.....sigh...why does life seem so easy for others, they just breeze through it, and everyday for me is a struggle. BUT, I am handing it over to GOD and I am most definetly going to keep on enjoying the ride.....
Nuff said....gotta clean...Peace out for a bit!

Hi Lil G
I almost lost it yesterday. A crown came off one of my molars. Had to go to the denist. The urge for a drink was overwhelming. I used to have a shot right before and after leaving the dentist. Liquor store is a block down the street from him. The battery died on my car and i had to get a ride. I don't know if I could have resisted. Very Scary. Anyway, I am still sober. Today is day 30.

I get into the poor me staying sober is so much work mode from time to time. Then I look at how much work it was being a drunk. Lets face it being an alcoholic is almost a full time job (at least it was for me) all of the planning, keeping track of the lies, going to differant stores, hiding you stash, getting rid of the evidence, making excuses, covering the expenses, not smelling like booze, not driving drunk is hard.........
Staying sober really is the easier softer way.
