Not a great day in sobriety.
Well I guess today is pretty good in the sense that I am sober but some annoying, frustrating things happened. Oh well I guess that's life and these days I have to accept life on life's terms. Today is a new day.

Learning how to live life on its terms was one of the hardest things for me about sobriety. It took lots and lots of practice and time to finally realize that I could make much better decisions and react in a more effective way when I was sober.
Hope today is much better for you, Free.

I'm having a really great day today! A new day. I feel really empowered because my husband has a work do tonight so I came to the city this morning so I could enjoy the hotel too. I caught the train to the city early this morning - thoughts of drinking and I beautiful chilled bottle of wine (just one??) crossed my mind many times. BUT these thoughts have left my mind now and I've done just what I planned to do - I saw my Mum and she took me to lunch (it was so nice and I can't remember when we last did that) then I came in the inner city and have been wandering around checking out a few organic food stores (my new obsession!). I am going to do a yoga class at 6.30pm and then get some thai and watch a movie in our room. If I had drunk I wouldn't have stuck to my plan and I would feel dreadful tomorrow morning. Instead I feel really happy and rejuvenated. Life sober can be so enjoyable. Thanks to you all.

Glad to hear today was/is better!
The Serenity Prayer is something I state several times a day. It does seem to help get me in the right mindset and approach my day at peace with the world around me. "Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."
