This has been my first weekend sober in many many months. Maybe even years. Tomorrow afternoon I'll officially have 7 complete days under my belt. I feel pretty darn good.
I need to start taking steps to fix the rest of my life now. I need to get to the gym, need to pick up a new hobby and make some new friends, need to start putting in %120 at my job. One thing at a time I guess but I'm realizing I have a lot of work to do besides just simply not drinking.

Made it through Saturday night! It's going to be great to wake up tomorrow and be able to spend time with my family without feeling anxious or jittery. My great-grandmother is going to be celebrating her 107th birthday and it will be an honour to be there with her

Hey hey weekenders.... Ring ring!
See a lot of folks struggling on the boards today. You are not alone and this is winnable!
Keeping things upbeat I am making a slow cooker steak pizzioli with a beautiful cut of semi boneless rib eye steaks. Cook it for 5 hours... And bam! Awesome meal
Happiness is a muscle we must use to keep it healthy. How about you flex a little today!

While I was out this morning walking my dog, I was thinking about how I finally understand how I as a person was powerless over controlling alcohol. Alcohol has the control over my mind and body. I've been researching/studying/understanding more about the toxic impact of alcohol and what it ACTUALLY does to the mind and body. There is nothing I can do to change that. Alcohol is alcohol. I am me. And we don't mix. I can't change the alcohol but what I CAN change is me. I can do whatever I need to do to not put the alcohol in to my body. Funny what a little walk with the dog can do

Can't believe Sunday is coming to an end and the weekend is almost over. At least I didn't touch a drop of alcohol though!
Day 12 of sobriety tomorrow and still no cravings or anything so at least I have that to look forward to.

Happy Sober Sunday, friends!
Made it through Saturday sober. Went to a concert in the park held by a bunch of sober friends and it was...interesting. I am definitely dating myself here but it was a total hair metal and glam rock festival. It was like being sucked in a time warp back to a 1986 Motley Crue concert. Which was fine except I haven't been around that much hairspray in eons. Fun though.
My cold is going away, thank goodness. I spent a good while in the pharmacy on Friday night trying to find a cough syrup/cold remedy that didn't have alcohol in it. Finally decided on good old Alka Seltzer Cold and Flu and that seemed to do the trick. Plus almost 10 hours of sleep last night.
Ken, I love steak pizzaiola and never thought to do it in the slow cooker but it sounds divine! I want to cook today too but it is 90F again and it kind of puts me off of being around a stove. Maybe a slow cooker recipe is the thing.
Anyway, glad everyone is doing well and hang in there for those of you struggling this weekend. It DOES get easier with time.
Talk to you all later today, best wishes!!
