motivation
Hi SR! today I need my momentum and motivation to stay with me - getting some long-neglected things done around the,house. 2 new garage doors installed (the cost! yikes). Cleaning out clutter, loads of laundry. etc. I have the time,while not working, and what did I waste the summer doing? Yep, drinking and being unmotivated.
Yet it feels so good to get even the smallest tasks done......so, today, I will keep going and not drink. I can do this!
Hope everyone is doing well today

Thanks aborkie. It's early days yet, but I want to do this....I was feeling down all week, today I am still blue, but have some energy that I haven't seen too much,of lately.
What a nice thing a clean house can be....like years of therapy

map I feel the same way. I have so much more time and energy to get things done.
Usually I drink once I get home and do the bare minimum. I then crash out on the sofa and crawl into bed late at night. I wake up hung over and do the bare minimum again.I hate myself. I don't want to talk to anyone unless its necessary.
Since I stopped drinking I shower and I brush my teeth before I go to bed. I woke up feeling clear and chirpy.I feel PROUD!! I sing good morning to every one. Even the cat notices my good mood. Lol. And I change my bed and do all sorts of chores before I go to work

Its amazing isnt it, all the time we now have. currently its 11:39a.m. .. So far, packaged 3 lunch boxes, 3 different schools. One had to go to allergist before school, go that done, drove him to school. Got there on 1st bell, so he's on time for 9:20. Then shot over to vitamin shoppe (trying new miracle wt loss, I do this every so often, still no miracle, just shut my mouth and move more). Next Kohls for new clothing for daughter. Folded two loads of laundry and are heading out to the elementary school for lunch with my youngests. After I'll hit the gym and be back for the 1st to arrive at 2:25. This is great.

I think that every time you get motivated and do something and feel the accomplishment, it spills over into the rest of your life and gathers strength. It's the way to go to help your recovery.

Our bodies are not designed to drink large quantities of alcohol, but if you live a healthy lifestyle you can do almost anything. I own a business that involves working outside. As a drunk I could barely do the work. I knew it was killing me. Now that I am sober I am fine with the physical work that I do.
