Day 11 here
 

Well, onto day 11, and double digits!

I'm going to meet a friend for coffee who is coming through town, who has a lot in common...and when we got to talking, he also has 20 years of not drinking. We met due to totally different reasons, though he has been a huge help in talking about things, in a non-judgmental way.

Then, we may go hiking for a bit, and have a bite to eat...so this is my first day off where my eye has healed, and I'm out and about. Hope to have a fun day of not drinking.

Husky! Great on 11 days.

What you have found today is the best kind of support that I can get in my recovery....someone who doesn't drink yet I have other stuff in common with them...a friend in recovery is a real gift!

Have a great day!

I love it when I start talking to someone and realize that they are also sober!

congratulations on your progress HuskyPup :)

Thanks, everyone! Had a good day, hiked for a few hours, just got in from a burger and the first few innings of watching an O's game (on TV). O's are leading the Yankees, 9-0. Was pretty fun to watch; I've started to watch baseball, of all things I would have never guessed I'd do. It's infectious, living in Baltimore, and I find it soothing, somehow. It's a good way to set aside my worries, and focus on something arbitrary. Not to mention, the O's Manny Machado is really cute.

Congratulations on 11 days, HuskyPup, sounds like it's going well.

Thanks! So far, so good. I just need to stay focused here, and not let my guard down. I'm not missing drinking nearly as much as I thought I would, even if I haven't done too much in the way of working on various projects I have in mind. At first, I think it's best to go slow, and take time to heal. But I feel a lot more energetic already. And the O's won, 11-3 :)
